GLASGOW, 29th May 1889.
Very many thanks to my son and daughter for their congratulations to me on my
birthday! And let me say specially to Mary that the sweet fragrance of both
words and flowers is filling my study to-day, and from time to time sending my
thoughts away to Hampstead. My prayers also go up for both of you from time to
time, perhaps oftener than you think. At breakfast this morning I was reminding
the company . . . that when Moses entered on his eightieth year he was only
beginning his best work. May it be so with your affectionate father,
ANDREW A. BONAR.
