the following manner:--

"When I first came up from Tavoy, I was thin and pale; and though I
called myself pretty well, I had no appetite for food, and was scarce
able to walk half a mile. Soon after, I was called to endure a long and
severe attack of illness, which brought me to the brink of the grave. I
was never so low in any former illness, and the doctor who attended me,
has since told me, that he had no hope of my recovery; and that when he
came to prescribe medicine for me, it was more out of regard to the
feelings of my husband, than from any prospect of its affording me
relief. I lay confined to my bed, week after week, unable to move,
except as Mr. Judson sometimes carried me in his arms from the bed to
the couch for a change; and even this once brought on a return of the
disease, which very nearly cost me my life. * * I never shall forget the
precious seasons enjoyed on that sick bed. Little George will tell you
about it, if you should ever see him. I think he will always remember
some sweet conversations I had with him, on the state of his soul, at
that time. Dear child! his mind was very tender, and he would weep on
account of his sins, and would kneel down and pray with all the fervor
and simplicity of childhood. He used to read the Bible to me every day,
and commit little hymns to memory by my bedside. * * It pleased my
Heavenly Father to raise me up again, although I was for a long time
very weak. As soon as I was able, I commenced riding on horseback, and
used to take a long ride every morning before sunrise. After a patient
trial, I found that riding improved my health; though many times I
should have become discouraged and given it up, but for the perseverance
of my husband. After riding almost every day, for four or five months, I
found my health so much improved, and gained strength so fast, that I
began to think walking might be substituted. About this time, my nice
little pony died, and we commenced a regular system of exercise on foot,
walking at a rapid pace, far over the hills beyond the town, before the
sun was up, every morning. We have continued this perseveringly up to
the present time; and, during these years, my health has been better
than at any time previous, since my arrival in India; and my
constitution seems to have undergone an entire renovation."
