I cannot delay 'till then my sincerest congratulations on the auspicious
event, attended with the most ardent wishes for your mutual felicity:
wishes, which as far as I may say without presumption, carry with
them a security of their completion. & may you, (for it is hard if a
disinterestedness in deed should not be returned by at least a disinterestness
in thought, & I have examined my heart & can truly say
I wish it, may you, if that should be an addition to your happiness,
be blessed with a family of other children; & I will be their father
whenever they & I shall be so unfortunate as to want that loss
supplied.
