TO MRS. MARY CHANDLER HALE
[_]
(When I was in New Brunswick, I went to many shops for a shell back-comb, but found none. Saturday Mrs. Hale sent me over one—from Tiffany's, New York, with a note saying that New York had them if St. John did not. It is very handsome. I sent her accordingly this note:)
I shall certainly make no complaints,
But my sea-shell shall sing me another
Lily-white, lily-fair, lily-slender,
The friendly-sly, stately-sweet sender,
Our gracious, high-hearted, and tender
St. Mary, the Flower of All Saints.
January, 1876.
