“It seems that her head was much affected and she said but little.  She sometimes complained thus:  ’The teacher is long in coming, and the missionaries are long in coming, I must die alone and leave my little one, but as it is the will of God, I acquiesce in his will.  I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid I shall not be able to bear these pains.  Tell the teacher that the disease was most violent, and I could not write; tell him how I suffered and died; tell him all you see.’...  When she could not notice anything else, she would still call the child to her, and charge the nurse to be kind to it, and indulge it in everything till its father should return.  The last day or two she lay almost senseless and motionless, on one side, her head reclining on her arm, her eyes closed, and at eight in the evening, with one exclamation of distress in the Burman language, she ceased to breathe.”

From the physician who attended her he afterwards learned that the fatal termination of her disease, was chiefly owing to the weakness of her constitution occasioned by the severe privations, and long-protracted sufferings which she endured at Ava.  “And oh!” adds her husband, “With what meekness, patience magnanimity and Christian fortitude, she bore those sufferings; and can I wish they had been less?  Can I sacriligiously wish to rob her crown of a single gem?  Much she saw and suffered of the evils of this evil world; and eminently was she qualified to relish and enjoy the pure and holy rest into which she has entered.  True she has been taken from a sphere in which she was singularly qualified, by her natural disposition, her winning manners, her devoted zeal, and her perfect acquaintance with the language, to be extensively serviceable to the cause of Christ; true she has been torn from her husband’s bleeding heart and from her darling babe; but infinite wisdom and love have presided, as ever, in this most afflicting dispensation.  Faith decides that all is right.”

To show that Mrs. Judson was already appreciated as she deserved by the European society in Amherst, we will subjoin part of a letter from Captain F. of that place to a friend in Rangoon:  “I shall not attempt to give you an account of the gloom which the death of this amiable woman has thrown over our little society, you who were so well acquainted with her, will feel her loss more deeply; but we had just known her long enough to value her acquaintance as a blessing in this remote corner.  I dread the effect it will have on poor Judson.  I am sure you will take every care that this mournful intelligence may be opened to him as carefully as possible.”
