Darling Abbie,
Your nice letter which I received some weeks since has been left unanswered much longer than it should have been, but you know from experience what a little inclination we have for writing the few last days of the term.

dark eyes & hair, very high cheek bones, dark complexion and does not speak English. Now just think of dear Henry the husband of such a one. He does not seem as gay and festive as of yore, matrimonial cares have badly affected him, poor fellow!

Write me again soon
