Like the dew in the morning, like the balmy breezes of early spring, like sunshine on the valleys of the mountains, like an inspiration from above, like a treasure to be cherished is the genial friendship of noble [pure?]-cultured family. The twenty days that I have lived here under the protection, kindness, loveliness and charm of Mr. & Mrs. Sewall shall ever be an education for better life, a picture of what home should be, and a soothing [happy?] beautiful memory that shall [?] creep into my heart in all places and times to drive away discouragement and gloom and call forth all the brighter and [?] side of my nature. Oh how lovely, how delightful to feel that I have the friendship, the good will of the noblest loftiest purest woman, whose

wealth of knowledge, and culture, enriched my mental poverty and my poor personality. May fortune always smile upon her fate, may her noble, benevolent [desires?] be granted and fulfilled, may her efforts on behalf of woman and humanity be always crowned with well [?ted] success, may happiness joy and delight spread [thru?] over her home, that all who are worthy may come to that peaceful dwelling and learn what a home should be and what woman could be in the world, and may the life of my host and hostess be long, gratifying and prosperous. This is the sincere wish and the hearty desire of your ever grateful friend

Twas but a brief space that we met, Both full of cares, and yet, and yet, For me, I shall not soon forget.
To quickly read and know a heart, That is the one from little art Of him who plays the poet's part:
And I have read all good in you, The high, the just, the pure, the true And therefore is it that I rue
The brief, brief space wherein we met Both full of cares, and yet, and yet, Believe I shall not soon forget!

How much I wish all [people?] might be able to see this well-[as--?] [house?]
So many will never know this loss. Throughout it is a place which at once elevates and cultivates. It is a privilege to be as I have been this week, through the kind courtesy of its [?] [?] hostess, [so?] [quiet?] and breathing this atmosphere of refinement and exquisite taste.
With many thoughts of my unusually pleasant stay. I shall soon depart, filled with a deep longing that the world in general was full of similar homes; but Alas: There are so many houses, so few homes.
Sincerely a friend,
