It was very kind in you to write to me, when you felt so
badly, and I thank you for it. It makes me feel low spirited to
think of your being sick while I am away, especially as I shall not
be able to hear from you again until Monday. I cannot help feeling
somewhat uneasy meanwhile. Your father is very kind to you, I did
not think it worth while to send his letter to you by mail, but
will keep it carefully till I get home. I am surprized to hear of
your brother Edward's being in love. It seems to me there must be
some mistake about it or one of us would have heard something of it.
Who can the lady be? Maria will tell you what my arrangements for
getting home will be. I am ashamed of myself Frank for being so inconsiderate
as to dream of asking you to come for me. I do not
know how I could ever have done such a thing, but then I am such
a very very silly little girl that I ought not to be surprized at
my doing anything however thoughtless. Aunt Maria says it would be
entirely out of the question, and so it would, please dont think
of it on any account. Many thanks to you for the magazine, it has
afforded me much pleasure, and I feel very grateful to you for
thinking of it. I have actually cut a wisdom tooth, am I not getting
old at a rapid rate? Mrs. Stevenson called Wednesday morning, and
Aunt Maria intends taking me next week to return the visit. I wish
you could have been here to see her. I cannot help feeling very
sanguine now as to your success, indeed it seems to me almost certain,
but then it is not right to be too sure.
I do pray for you constantly my dear Frank, and feel
happy in thinking you do the same for me. Of late especially I have
been entirely too much engrossed in worldly things. Oh how hard it
is to live loose to this world, and keep eternity in view. God
help us both to be prepared for the issues of life and death, and
keep us from the evil that is in this world. I shall await Monday's
mail with anxiety, time will seem long till I hear again.
