Excerpt from A Child of the Morning: Memoir and Letters of Ren e De Benoit HE pages that follow are not a biography. We have simply acceded to the wish expressed by numerous friends that a few letters and notes might be published of one who has been so soon and so suddenly taken away from us. We thought it best to let her tell for herself the story of her spiritual life. No literary effect has been aimed at in these papers, but merely the collecting together of private and personal letters. The youthful and ingenuous character of these enclosures has been respected by us, so that every one may read, to the full depth of this soul, and follow step by step the work of the Spirit.
