I sealed them both at choses; and stamped them alike with
a pencil case. Do you every morning take your walk? I will think in is mine,
Dear Philip, and thank you for wishing me to be with you. One stormy morning
last week, from necessity, about nine, I took a long one. I thought of you,
and believed if your morning was like the morning here you were not keeping
me company. Yes I do remember your cloak. Dear Philip, it ----- and gave
me a sand and yet as happy a moment as ever I knew. My own I believe I never
wore out but once to walk with you in and that was the evening you and Orias
came for me to go to his home and play whilst do you remember it Philip/
I did not expect you again that night, and was almost sorry to see you both
come in for I was afraid my looks would betray my feelings, and I felt wretchedly
unhappy. Thought I now can hardly remember why. This is the third morning
this week I have attempted to write to you and been interrupted, and this
evening Mrs. Hagar has sent for me to meet the company there, but I have
a severe cold and it is now after eight and I have not been disturbed. Last
evening Hannah and Mr. Smith came to play chops with me they knocked just
as I had moved the table before the fire for writing. Last Friday evening
Philip, I attended a Ball and the first one had here since Commencement.
I expected to enjoy it when I went, and there was no reason why I should
not but there was no one figure that I felt satisfied or happy in dancing
and I left the room quarter before twelve. The ball was said to be an unusually
pleasant one but, Philip, the last time I was in that room you were there,
and though you made the evening pass unhappily to me, I could still see
you and feel that you were near. |
