letters from dickinson to lucretia bullard


Cambridge, about 1864


The lovely flowers embarrass me,
They make me regret I am not a Bee -

Was it my blame or Nature's?

Thank you, dear Aunt, for the thoughtfulness, I shall slowly forget -

The beautiful Plant would entice me, did I obey myself, but the Doctor is rigid.

Will you believe me grateful, who have no Argument?

Truly,

Emily.
