To Dr. J.G. Holland
Your small Note was as merry as Honey, and enthralled us all - I sent it over to Sue, who took Ned's Arm and came across - and we talked of Mr. Samuel and you, and vital times when you two bore the Republican, and came as near sighing - all of us - as would be often wise - I should say next door - Sue said she was homesick for those "better Days," hallowed be their name. Amazing Human Heart - a syllable can make to quake like jostled Tree - what Infinite -for thee! I wish you were rugged, and rejoice you are gay, and am re-convinced by your arch note that Unless we become as Rogues, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven - Emily.
