Chedgrave Rectory, Norwich
August 6, 1888
Tommy & Hilda
You see I call you by the names I used to use when you were here. Your sister has let me read the letters you have sent and I am rejoiced to hear that you can write of the great kindness you are receiving from Mrs. Stewart. I use to pray with your dear Father and with your Mother that God would graciously fulfill his promise of being the Father of the fatherless and I am amazed at the wonderful was in which he has fulfilled his promise and answered the deep toned, heartfelt Amens of your dying Father and Mother. Now remember you have been baptized. Your parents set you apart for God’s service, you are holy children, in the sense of the word holy, set apart for God, just as the communion table is called the Holy Table as a table set apart for God’s service. Remember Jesus Christ dies for you. He has taken you up, as it were, in his arms to bless you or the promise of the Holy Ghost that you may be like Jesus. Now Jesus was truth, if you are not truthful you are unlike Jesus. All happiness is in being like Jesus, there be truthful that you may be like Jesus. Jesus was thoughtful about his mother. Mr. & Mrs. Stewart are doing to you a parent’s part, study to be obedient, willing to do them service and the lady, Miss Rendell, who teaches you, remember when teaching you, she is in Mrs. Stewart’s place, Mrs. Stewart commits her authority to Miss Rendell, as God under his gracious providence has given you in charge to Mrs. Stewart. I hope to hear a good report of you that I may communicate it to Sir Reginald Beauchamp, to Mr. Ward, and to the guardians.
You servant for Jesus’ sake
Henry Alfred Barrett
