I am here, Helen Padgett:
My own dear husband, how happy I have been tonight as you and the
others congregated around the coffin of our baby to pay their respects
and offer their love and sympathy to her memory. As has just been
said, many of our Celestial Spirits were present, all casting over
the people the love and influence that only Celestial Spirits can
give forth. Baby was there with me, and while she did not quite
understand all that she saw, yet she realized that her body is now
no part of her, and that she lives independently of it, and that
the body which she now knows is hers, is so much more beautiful
and ethereal. She was very close to me, and did not attempt to leave
my arms, for while she knew that she was no longer a mortal, yet
she was timid and felt that she needed me and my love. She is quite
beautiful and happy and says that if she is in heaven, she does
not want to return to earth or to her body that was lying before
her so cold and lifeless. She saw and recognized all who were present
and tried to talk to some of them, but found that she could not
make them hear, and wondered a little that they did not.
Tonight you must not write more, but must go to bed and get your
rest. I will soon write you fully as to our baby. She said though,
that she saw how much you must love her, and was so anxious to reply
to you as you talked to her. Do not grieve too much for the body,
for it is no longer hers and cannot understand or answer your words
of sorrow. She is so happy that you love her so much, and will come
to you before very long.
Love me and pray to the Father.
Good night, and God bless you, my dear Ned.
Your own true and loving,
Helen
