1 ithoughtless, excited, dazzled; my spirits,
 naturally huoyant, have carried me often too fast, and lately have often painfully, suspected my own powers of resistance; have really felt that needed help, but have 1 been too proud to confess even to myself, that I needed it. You Miss Elmore, have / done what, perhaps, no one else could h1'' done. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, 1 and shall bless you for it to the latest day

 man in the country.
