I hope you have learned to nurse your baby. We heard bad accounts of you in this respect. It is a charge the Lord has given you for higher purposes than this world. A child’s thorough confidence in the parents comes by tender care and laying oneself out a little for them under God’s goodness, though, of course, your little one is too young to be much in your care now, but affection begins early.
J. N. Darby (Letters, Vol. 3)
