- My dear Friend,
You hold a pleasant [??] within reach of any lily, without my being able to swallow it. It would be refreshing to get away from the city for a few days, see your grays and the lovely [??], and above all enjoy your dear house and its loving hospitable host. My husband is in Baltimore, but I am very much afraid that he would not be able to leave home for any [??] [??] [??] at the present time. When we [L?] Montgomery was going [??] he exclaimed how delightful it would be if he could only go too and see you--
I have just been interrupted by a letter from the [??] informing me that Matthew[?] was last seen [??] months-- now exiled! It [??] be an awful disappointment to them, as it is to us all! I connected with you[?] [??] her [??] when her [??] was [??] to be absent from her, but "[??] dispose" [??] must be [??]. I trust [??] will be reconciled when [??]. Please tell [??] and excuse my abrupt conclusion. Yours very lovingly Julia Melscahaun[?]
