am so nervous now that I can
scarcely steady my pen: I fear, dear
friend, that you will think your
little Carolina friend to be a very
strange, impulsive creature, & will
wonder at my letter, but if you
could only know the frame of
mind in which it is written, you
would peruse it with a lenient
eye: Ma joins me in much love
to your dear Mother & self, & says
she intends writing to you before
very long.
As ever
Your loving friend
Mary W. Capers
