MARCH 9, $50 P. NJ, 1867.
Ireceived two hours ago, darling, yours
OF yesterday at noon. | mailed you the
4tlG1ttic, for March, to No. 72 This I
send in care of Mr.. s., hoping you NAV
get it tomorrow. Don't be disturbed about
your family, little girl. Families always
expect to accomplish facts, my hobby.
You know | once outraged mine great
deal more than you ever can yours, and
they are the straightest sect of PuritaDs;
put time made II all correct. So you could

tell me the perfect truth, whether it keeps
US together, or separates US, God keeping
me will. She tried to, but the Leopard
could not change its spots, and she did her
best, and was very tender and loving, and
have nothing in the world to complain Of.
II you had not come to me, little girl, it
