Margaret I thought of you very often this evening, of our last converation, it has
left a very deep impression on my mind. I will endeavor to profit by your friendly
admonitions. When he took my hand, I thought of you and was on the point of with drawing it, but, Margaret I have not seen him since Monday and he only held
it lightly, as if about to let it go —- If you think I need advice, do not spare me
my friend, probe as deep as you will, I will thank you for the kind intention. If
you suppose me in danger, do not permit my guardian angel to sleep on his duty,
be watchful and remember that in that love no other can do for me what you can.
To noother have I or can I explain myself on this subject. —

But you will say where have you been. To [. ], I had promised Mrs. Sharple to
visit her last week, but wanting inclination, and having much to do at home, I wrote
her an apology on Monday morning, the same morning I received visits from Mrs.
Mitchell and her sister and we agreed to go to the next week to pay Mrs. Sharples a tea visit , which I liken much better than staying all night. In the afternoon Mrs. Nicholson came. I never felt more glad to see her, my heart sickened at your departure. Part of it seemed to go with you. Margaret, I never felt so much at parting with you a weight seemed pressing on my heart which no cautions could move, when [. ]went home the family had not yet risen, I had to knock some time befor[ ]could gain admittance, you know not how much this trifling circumstance
affected me. To talk to Maria was a relief, she stayed all night, we walked on
the battery. The next morning had a charming visit from Mr. Miller, but I must write the converses another time, I cannot now. — Perhaps I will write by the boat. At last Mr. Sharples came, for the purpose, he said, of escorting me to [. ], “Has not Mary received my note. “ - No she has not heard from you,” I mentioned its import and found from his face that I must go, so we set off the next morning, and I staid
there two nights. Next time you shall hear all about it.

Mr. Brown was here last night, Mr. Johnson came in soonafter, but will not stay
long, and left Mr. Brown behind. I said I had a letter from you, “Oh that was
what I was going to ask, and when will you answer it,”—-“I shall send my answer
on Monday.” __”he took a piece of paper out of his pocket, “Will you transcribe this
in your letter”. Take care of it. It is of great importance to me.” __ What is its
t”__ “There is a boarding school at Brunswick, I wish to know if a teacher
is wanting and whether a lady of my acquaintance could obtain admission in that
capacity.”—-“You raise my curiosity. I feel disposed to ask you many questions
