1865
Until the last year I have always doubted
the possibility of vicarious suffering
as being inconis inconsistent with the
Divine attribute of Justice—Within the
last two years I have three times been
impelled to ask most earnestly if
it were possible that I might suffer
instead of those I loved—twice
by the side of the dying—again for
by one who is still alive— I On
each occasion I have suffered the
same symptoms which afflicted
my friends ^while they were measurably relieved^ and am now ill
with disease for which I can in
no way account—I admit
that this may be an unaccountable
coincidence—I merely state a fact –
F.A.S.
