“There is nothing more to tell you except that we are about to embark. We close by asking Christ our Lord for the grace of seeing each other again in the next life; for I do not know if we shall ever see each other again in this . . Whoever will be the first to go to the other life and does not there find his brother, whom he loves in the Lord, must ask our lord to unite us all there in his glory.”.
