First sentence: As I have not seen you to wish you good bye in propria persona, I must do it, on paper for I suppose you will not be in Cambridge at the latter end of the week when I return; I do not know when I have spent a merrier evening than yesterdays-It was like the old time sitting by you &amp; hearing prodigies-I shall not in a hurry forget your awful appearance as you lay on the sofa with a great snow ball in the place of your head.
