from you-from you, which means SO

full of the contretemps at the house
and sorry it could not have ben avoid

being open as I passed. bolts and bars

giving thanks for you and my very hap

never dreamed could be possible-it
seems too sweet to be real. I am not
going to send this until 1 get the ad-
dress SO possess my soul in patience.

fearful of many things. I will write |
you tomorrow at length of my move- |
