For five years Brother Howland’s family had the whole charge of Henry. They cared for him without any recompense, providing all his clothing, except a present that I brought him once a year, as Hannah did Samuel. {LS 120.4}

Henry var i Bror Howlands families varetægt i hele fem år. De sørgede for ham uden bekostninger, gav ham alle hans klæder, undtagen en gave som jeg købte til ham en gang omåret, ligesom Hanna gjorde med Samuel.
