This letter probably was written soon after the preceding. No hymn in collections ED was likely to know contains the phrase "A present (or presence) so divine." Perhaps she was trying to recall lines from the last stanza of Watts's "When I survey the wondrous cross:"

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
