My dearest Lucy
We suffered a terrible blow. Mr. Hawkins died suddenly. Some may think this is sad for us but we had both come to love so much that it really seems as if we had lost a parent.
I never knew either my father or my mother, so that the death of this dear old man has been a real shock to me. Jonathan is greatly distressed. Not only is sad, very sad, for the dear old man who has helped him in his life, and now the end has treated him like his own son and left him a fortune for people of our modest home is more wealth allthe dreams of avarice. Jonathan also feels otherwise: he says that the great responsibility resting upon him nervous. Begins to doubt himself. I try to cheer him up, and my faith in it helps to have faith in himself. But it is precisely at this as the strong impression that exerts more experienced in it. Oh! It's too hard a nature so sweet, simple, noble and strong as he (a nature that enabled him, with the help of our friend, rising from clerk to the position it has today) is so damaged as to remove the very essence of its strength. Forgive me, dear, if you with my troubles in the midst of your own happiness, but Lucy dear, I must talk to someone, for the effort is done by man
