they would start out this fall. I look to
that time with the greatest pleasure and
delight: although I know it will make the
next separation [tenfold?] worse, they may
stay with us until the last of the winter. even

Mr Clark called to see us yesterday though
did not stay long. he was going over to his Uncle's
he said I did not much believe him.
he thought he could get a good joke on me.
I shall tell him the next time he undertakes
or teases me that I will not mail another letter
to him, ungrateful Clark:
he told me [illegible] Dona [Frances?] was to be
married soon. so you will have another chance
to enjoy yourself and "[swing?] them right-

family last week. [Mrs.?] S. Wright - a cousin
to Clark W---. [illegible] [Mary?]. Kelly. must have
been a very pretty bride. though she is [six?] years
