wonder what has sixty-seven in store
for us! ah! we wonder & wonder & will

forth a hand, lift the veil of futurity,
we could not summon sufficient
courage from the act : The star of
Hope shines brightly, as it points me
to a happiness that surely I am to
realize this year, a personal acquain-
tance with you, my precious Sister
& I pray that it may be so, for each
missive received, increases the intense
desire to know you: Oh! Bettie you know
not one half how much I love you &
indeed at times I am right jealous
of your love : this is so selfish in me.
