Writings by Susan Dickinson: Correspondence with Bishop Huntington

December 31, '95

My dear Susan -

The two superb
volumes stand on the new
revolving book-case that
Col. Verbeck[?] has sent me,
+ they go round + round,
as the years do, showing
themselves in many lights.
But they are not always
in motion, for I have
found time to get entertain-

ment + instruction
out of their contents. The
professor has done a fine
piece of work. I wonder
if he still sees virtue
in the Sultan.

But the best of anything
that you give me is that
you give it. I thank
you most for that, - that
you care for me not
without affection.

I trust that God
has his own best gifts in
store for you + M. + E.,

Papers of Susan Dickinson,
Box II, Series A,
Brown University Libraries

+ that you will have them as
ninety-six goes on + that I shall see
you enjoying them. One sight of Mt.
Holyoke w'd be an uplift, + with Tom
+ Tobey, Pelham Hills or High Ridge, the ugly
world ~~world~~ w'd be beautiful again.

Faithfully y'r attached

F.D.H.
