PARRY
(Sir William E., 1790-1855, Admiral, Arctic Explorer)
Fine Long Autograph Letter Signed to “My very dear Friend”
saying that “it must always be a pleasure to me to renew my communication with you, even in the imperfect and unsatisfactory shape of letter writing; and it can never be anything but a gratification to me to attend to your wishes. By my not immediately answering your letter, you may have begun to think otherwise, but the fact is, that I lost not a day in forwarding to my sister Mrs Martineau the expression of your wishes, and, by the enclosed note, you will perceive that she has not been backward in answering it. I hope you will see her as well as us, when you come to Petersfield for it will be a matter of no great difficulty for you to get here to see us in our nice new nest. We are truly pleased to hear that both you and your husband are in better health than formerly. Pray, do not fail to let us know when you come, that we may fix some day & plan for your coming to Haslar. We should rejoice to see you... Catharine desires to unite with me in much true love...”, 3 sides 8vo., Haslar Hospital, 20th August no year but after

PARRY WRITES ON THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE
PARRY
(Sir William E., 1790-1855, Admiral, Arctic Explorer)
Moving Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Streatfield
hoping that it will “ be very long before you know by experience... either the comfort derived from Christian sympathy under such a bereavement as mine, or the painful effort required in replying to it. The latter must, and with you, I am sure, will be, my apology for not sooner answering your most friendly and welcome note, which, you may be assured, I prized most highly. The stroke under which I am suffering, is indeed a most bitter one, too bitter to understand till it is felt - but, blessed be my God, I have been permitted to know that it is assuredly dealt in mercy and love. It is a severing of ties, which, for 13 years, have bound two hearts together as one, leaving a blank, a chasm, a desolation which cannot be imagined till it is experienced. If I did not constantly look upwards, I should see in the prospect around me nothing but darkness - but the Saviour has been, as He ever will be, faithful to his promises, and I now know him to be a very present help in time of trouble... As for my beloved wife what more can the tenderest love desire for her than that she should be forever with Him who is Love itself. You are aware that she has long been upon the Rock - the Rock of ages - for years has that beloved one satemeekly at Jesus’ feet... and now my unspeakable comfort and happiness is, that she is for ever safe within His fold - secure from all danger and all sorrow...”, 4 sides 8vo., on black edged paper, Admiralty, 5th June
