h the admirable management of
Captain Powell, of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's ship
"Candia", and on the 12th of December was once more in dear old England.
The Company most liberally refunded my passage-money. I have not
mentioned half the favors bestowed, but I may just add that no one has
cause for more abundant gratitude to his fellow-men and to his Maker
than I have; and may God grant that the effect on my mind be such that
I may be more humbly devoted to the service of the Author of all our
mercies!
