| Description: | After patiently waiting for several days, I have been rewarded by the
reception of a kind letter from my only correspondent, and as a matter
of pleasure, rather than duty, I devote this stormy evening to answer
it Capt. Wood came back yesterday, and the letter you sent by him,
Hallie gave me to-day. Have I not sufficiently answered it? Dear Addie, may I not consider part thereof as
though it never had been written? Now as Hallie has told me all, do not for a moment think that any such thing could make me "curse" you, or even
make me think otherwise of you, dear Addie,
than I always have. Only allowmeto love you, dearest. Will you not?
You have doubtless recieved one or two letters since you wrote the letter now
before me. I shall have little rest until I recieve a reply. |
