It is not for any sin ( for I haven't committed any though it may be a sin of omission) or fore "sight" as you suggest, but simply as your account - you are the cause of it all - Providence is the wonderful way , is thus preserving me from all harm, that I may return in her own good time, & become your most faithful spouse. What ho! You are a lucky gal.
