Dear [Bro.?]

Permit me to return to ^you^ your letter of the 21^st I [illegible] with all [illegible] but, after what I said to you in my letter of the 12th, [and?] the [illegible] given [you?] at the [close?] of [illegible] of the 13th, the [illegible] [illegible] in the [illegible] have [illegible] on your second [illegible], is one I do not like to [keep?] in my life.

I feel [illegible] in [illegible] to [illegible] a change, but [illegible] what [illegible] [relation?] have always been I will say, [once?] that only, there is noot a [shadow?] of truth in the [imputation?] of having [illegible] you. I shall, at all times, [illegible] glad to see you. Yours truly Gov. Whipple
