Oh come to me my dearest Henry I cannot live until Saturday without seeing thee. I could not help hoping for thee today altho’ I forbade it, trembling at the weakness of my heart.
I cannot write— oh come & let me tell thee how wholly I am thine. Let no eye ready thy joy [p. 2] before mine—
Forever thy
