You know so well the true interest Miss Cuss Cushman & myself take in you—you will not mind our being sharers in the sweet & pleasant Idyll you describe so poetically–I only regret to find by it, that you still refer to 'lonely journies'—& that you do not seem to have carried out your hopes of having a portion of your family with you at Jacksonville—My object is[?] writing for your address ...... You may prhaps [sic] have seen by the papers, that there is a project under weigh in New Y for the establishment of an American College of Music—on a grand scale—undr [sic] the patronage & through the liberality of a very rich man–who purposes to endow it liberally–his name has not yet been given to the public.
