God
bless and protect you and yours, dear madam, and certainly God's hand
will remain with a blessing over your head.
Once more forgive my bad English and the liberty I have taken, and
believe me to be, dear madam,
Yours most truly, JENNY GOLDSCHMIDT, _n?e_ LIND.
In answer to Mrs. Stowe's appeal on behalf of the Edmonsons, Jenny
Lind wrote:--
MY DEAR MRS. STOWE,--I have with great interest read your statement of
the black family at Washington. It is with pleasure also that I and my
husband are placing our humble names on the list you sent.
The time is short. I am very, very sorry that I shall not be able to
_see_ you. I must say farewell to you in this way. Hoping that in
the length of time you may live to witness the progression of the good
sake for which you so nobly have fought, my best wishes go with you.
Yours in friendship,
JENNY GOLDSCHMIDT.
While Mrs. Stowe was thus absent from home, her husband received and
accepted a most urgent call to the Professorship of Sacred Literature
in the Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass.
In regard to leaving Brunswick and her many friends there, Mrs. Stowe
wrote: "For my part, if I _must_ leave Brunswick, I would rather
leave at once. I can tear away with a sudden pull more easily than to
linger there knowing that I am to leave at last. I shall never find
people whom I shall like better than those of Brunswick.
