Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H 234a
A Mine there is
no Man would own
But must it be 
conferred,
Demeaning by 
Exclusive Wealth
A Universe beside -

Potosi never to 
be spent
But hoarded in 
the Mind
H 234b

What Misers 
wring Their 
hands Tonight
For Indies in 
the Ground!
Emily '
