Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H B95a
Part to whom
Sue is precious 
gave her a note 
Wednesday, but as 
Father omitted the 
"Ocean House" 
presume it is 
still groping in 
the Swampscott 
Mail -
We remind her 
we love her -
Unimportant fact, 
though Dante 
did'nt think so, 
nor Swift, nor 
Mirabeau.
Could Pathos 
compete with 


H B95b

that simple 
statement
"Not that we 
loved him but 
that he loved 
us"?
	Emily '
