But Miss Bettie will not accuse me
of neglect I am confident. I believe
She understands me too well to think
me capable of it (I have learned to
feel so at least.) So when friend T.
makes my explanations &c – give due
weight and importance to them. So that the
injustice of a suspicion even may not be
done me. Tom may imagine how
keenly I felt the deprivations of my present
position as he described to me the scene
at Church on yesterday. How he felt
as each familiar face presented, and the
cordial grasp and cheerful smile were
given – Only one who has felt the power
and pleasure of friendship such as I have
enjoyed can appreciate such a scene as this.
Oh! how often is the wish felt & expressed
that the happy days of a months since
might be restored! but I can only be
with you in thought. (I always am!)
and the sweetest reminiscences of my life
