sensible till my death./
I am glad to hear that/
you have so pleasant a/
companion as Miss H. it/
must be very agreeable to/
you. She has such prier/
ways that I judge her to/
be very desirable accession./
Please remember me to/
her._/

Do you ever see Mrs. Chew? how/
do you think that she looks? Does/
she seem to be on the decline?/
I was much interested at/
your account of the insurrection./
How did it result? Dr. White always/
