My dear Fanny
When I parted with
yesterday I was fearful I should
not see you again, yet could not
but feel disapointed that I did
not—you lost pleasure of seeing
Miss. Bissel
Unknown
and Mrs. Porter
Birth: 1803-03-30 Death: 1866-03-02
- whichof course you much regret- I found
the articles you sent after they they
left part of which I return, with
many thanks for your kindness-
particularly for the present which
I assure you aside from its Merits
will be treasured among the few things
I most value, in remembrance of
the donor, and its able an[ d ]
Supplied
ed Author-whose kindness in “days
of lang syne” are still remembered
with gratitude.
The girl which I cannot recomend
will you as see you after I leave -
she pretends that Mrs. Munson
Birth: 1816-06 Death: 1911
wantsher- but I have persuaded
To influence by argument, advice, or intreaty • To convince by arguments, or reasons offered •
her togo and see you first- she will be
detained perhaps a day to help

Will you please to write the name
of the l ^lace on^ crown of your cap- and if
there is any like it in this town, and
send by 9am.
My love to Clary

for me-I cannot realize that I have been here
seven weeks, “time indeed has been
sadly fleet,” it will today part
us- I trust to meet again in a few
weeks, beneath my own roof- this
delightful anticipation are is among
the few pleasures I have in prospect —S
Do not disappoint your sincerely
attached Serene-
