Histories

My dearest Friend,

I have been so much engaged of late in the pursuit of knowledge, that I have had very little time to write to you. I have been studying Hebrew, and I find it a very delightful language. I have always had a great curiosity about it, and I am now resolved to learn it. I find it a very difficult language, but I am determined to persevere. I am sure that it will be a great advantage to me in my religious studies.

I am now reading the Old Testament in Hebrew, and I am able to make out the meaning of the text without the help of a translation. I am also studying the grammar of the language, and I am making good progress. I am so glad that I have taken up the study of Hebrew. It is a very difficult language, but it is also very rewarding. I am sure that I will never regret the time and effort that I have put into learning it.
