What will Miss Bettie say
if I refuse her request to
destroy the photograph at
present in my possession?: in
so doing shall I lose the
place in your heart that I
am egotistical enough to hope
I now hold? As the friend of
my idolized brother, while far
away from his loved ones in
Carolina, you have won my heart:
shall I then destroy all that
can give me any idea of the
features that my imagination
has for so long a time tried
to sketch? do not urge it
