We&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 2] have not yet seen Mr. Ticknor. and Hawthorne but hope to soon. I have a note from Mr. Ticknor, and have had the reading of one from you to Mr. Bennoch. in which you did not make mention of me. Thank you!— Will you be so kind as to forward the enclosed notes, &lt;u&gt;at&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;once&lt;/u&gt;. I am very sorry to be obliged to disappoint my friends but I cannot help myself. I am not at all able to undertake the voyage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;[page 3] But dont [sic] let any one be anxious about me. I am in good hands and shall get along finely. no doubt.
