 Description: I have returned from school but how should I answer your kind letter: If I should answer it as Irecievedit; it would be with bitter oh, such bitter tears. Should I tell you why I wept? No, dear Charlie I cannot now perhaps I never can, but be assured my reasons are resistless. Dear Charlie my spirit has striven to watch over and guard thee, and hourly & fervant prayers has risen to the throne of Grace for your safety. But that prayer was only as a true and loving sister would pray for a brother. I have striven aquired any other feeling save a sisterly love and Dear CharlieI if I have caused any other feeling to rise in your heart save the feeling of friendship I entreat of you to forgive me for I did it unintentionly. And if you cherish such feelings toward me Dear Charlie for my sake and for the sake of your future happiness quench them. Promise me that you will. Only remember me as a sister or a friend.
