Accessed 30 March, 2020. Text Any textual data included in the document Dearest friend, <br />Your little note of the 8th, sent out in search of me to my bankers, reached me last night, &amp; rebuked me that I had delayed so long in writing to you after leaving Newport, but before you receive this, you will have learned why I did not &amp; could not write. <br />This little word of loving finding you to take you another Roman letter, which I hope you will not be too bored to try to dispose of for me. I have heard nothing about the last, but shall hope to see it printed &amp; send my poor friend the money for it. This one I like very much. <br />Dear, don’t be dumb [last three words underlined]! Imagine yourself a troubadour writing to the Queen of your soul, &amp; then perhaps you won’t be dumb any more. You have dressed me in the beauty &amp; grace of your own imagination &amp; so [underlined], have made something before which you are dumb. This poem you gave me of Two Loves, is exquisite, do, do write me more verses &amp; they shall live forever &amp; make your long book known here where I am, &amp; a whole bevy of sweet girls good true &amp; clever are “after them.” <br />Ah, dear. I am sad, but I try think how much more sad my condition might be &amp; try to be thankful. I might be poor, forsaken, wretched &amp; still have the same trouble which I have now, but I am surrounded by loving hearts &amp; good of all kinds is poured out upon me. I will let you know when I decide [underlined] upon anything, as yet I am still in doubt! But leaning more &amp; more towards laying myself down under the surgeon’s hand once more—ah if God would only send me some light to help me to decide by. <br />Darling I brought all my dried leaves away &amp; they are still bright besides I love them for what they said &amp; did to me when I first went to Newport. Ah what a [lovely] house this is &amp; how sweetly kind they are to me. How intensely happy I could be here but for this heartache. Will you remember me most kindly to “Col. &amp; Mrs. Higginson,” &amp; Miss Pell, &amp; all who love you. Please have this note dropped for me at Mrs. Cunningham’s &amp; believe me <br />Ever you faithfully loving CC <br /><br />[Note written across first page]: would you find out for me through Mrs. Higginson, &amp; she through her relatives the Gibbs’ [underlined] whether they will take $1500 for their house for the year of course they putting it in order and making a bathroom, &amp; the attendant conveniences [last two words underlined] which do not now exist inside the house.
