 Description: —“My friend Clarence will I trust beheve me, when I say that his letter was a surprise to me. To say that it was very grateful, would be what my womanly vanity could not fail to claim. I only wish that I was equal to the flattering portrait which he has drawn. I even half fancy that he is joking me, and can hardly believe that my matronly air should have quite won his youthful heart. At least I shall try not to believe it; and when I welcome him one day, the husband of some fairy, who is worthy of his love, we will smile together at the old lady, who once played the Circe to his senses. Seriously, my friend Clarence, I know your impulse of heart has carried you away; and that in a year's time, you will smile with me, at your old penchant for one so much your senior, and so ill-suited to your years, as your true friend, —“Dear Madge,—May I not call you thus, if only in memory of our childish affections;—and might I dare to hope that a riper affection which your character has awakened, may permit me to call you thus, always?
