Dear Frances,
In order to get home
sooner I have concluded
to take the Warwick line
at 6 Oclock this evg.
This will prevent me from
seeing you to say goodbye.
I am not able to say how
much I regret it. Since
I parted with Henry
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
last
night, I have been the
most unhappy man liv-
ing. If he believes me
what I am in heart
and soul devoted to him
he will not think less
kindly of me because I
was thoughtless.
Please direct Mr Rogers

to write to me as soon
you reach Albany. He will
understand. With my thanks
to Henry for this visit, which
until now I have enjoyed
so much. I am ever your
friend & his.
