Dearest Richard,
Your affectionate letter was quite reviving and your improved account of Caroline gave me very great pleasure.  I remember well the last letter you wrote me from poor old Lunns - James has just called to enquire if there were any tidings of your mother.

Dearest Richard,

I wrote in a great hurry last night I dare say you thought here was little occasion for my letter, but to speak truth I was glad of an excuse for writing - The hours pass very slowly in your absence. Yet time is too short to wish any portion of it past.
