To Captain J. WYLLIE
Bark “Mary Campbell”, Table Bay
Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, 14th April 1843
Sir,
Permit me to avail myself of the only method within my power of acknowledging with feelings of heartfelt gratitude the good offices which you have so nobly performed towards a Widow and a friendless Orphan, without, I am sure, any hope or prospect of remuneration, for your exemplary benevolence, beyond that inward approval of your own conscience, which after all will be your surest, your highest, and I trust, your long enjoyed reward.
When my late Husband, having survived the wreck of the Transit, Captain COBURN, from this Port, on the coast of New Holland, in May last year, found his way with the Boy you have so humanely befriended to Batavia – and there, by the dispensation of Providence was removed from us, you took this lonesome and unknown child from among strangers where his father’s death left him unprotected. Under the impulse of the best feelings of humanity you took this poor boy, not only on board your vessel, not only into your own cabin, with the best attention to his comfort as a passenger, but with fatherly care you looked to his moral improvement, and you brought him here, to restore him to his widowed Mother, improved in every respect; and more particularly did you devote both time and attention to his improvement in reading and the first principle of religious duties; and for all this and more, having received him from you, you neither claim, nor expect from me, acknowledgement or reward.
My own feelings, however, prompt me to assure you with the utmost sincerity that I will never cease to remember you with the highest esteem and respect, and with warmest wishes for your future prosperity and happiness, I have the honor to be, Sir, your greatly obliged and very obedient Servant.
Maria ABEL, Widow with Four Children.
