Title	December 29, 1882 Letter John H. Vincent to Elizabeth D. Vincent
Date	1882-12-29
Creator	Vincent, John Heyl (1832-1920)
Recipient	Vincent, Elizabeth Dusenbury (1832-1909)
Description	''Lib Dusenbury - the years are going by, I am sorely dissatisfied with myself. I don't grow in worldliness and spirituality. I think you do. I see it in your tone, your talk, your self control. I am glad for you and proud of you; but as for myself I get very much discouraged. I am weak. I will and ---wilt. I resolve and ----fail. Can't you help me? Do you pray for me? God knows that I want to be right. The years come and the years go; but I don't gain in energy and steadiness of will. Help me, my dear Lib. How much I rest on you in all my final analyses of my character and situation. I wish I could settle down and never move about. That seems the most helpful condition of things for me.''
