Cowan's daughter Margaret had died, 8 November 1879. This letter thanks him for a memorial. A notation on a blank page of the letter, entered probably by Cowawn, reads: "Oct 11. 1880 After receiving copy of "The Lamb Folded.'" The first quotation is from 1 Corinthians 15.35: "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" The final sentence paraphrases the opening of 1 Peter 1.8: "Whom not having seen, ye love. . ." (see also letter no. 747.)
