intended to have written thee long before now, but
am such poor hand to compose letter, that en-
teraiR fear that il would not be acceptable to thee
am yet blessed with the sweet remembrance of thy
sociaohity with one unworthy Of thy notice. My
associates In this neighborhood are not members In
society and is very for me TO refrain from their
language, and listen to the dictates of my
science do not wish to be of distant disposition,
for am remarkably fond of company and like to asso-
ciate with those that in good standng for young
people generally are knewn by the company they keep
on thy modesty; my view was ito give vent to a small
portion Of those feelings of friendship which con-
stantly cherish toward thee. Our acquaintance with
each other il Is has been short il is
engraven in my memory. that time will erase it
find in thee disposition to maintain the principles
and good order of society," which exactly comedies
| with mine Thou art the person that wish to
| ciate with and long as conduct myself Alright
please accept and then, a written unication
from me- send this enclosed in a wrapper to Jesse
