Dear you begged my pardon but your pardon is always granted and said you thought the time long but if you thought the time as long as I did you would have wrote before. it appears to me nearly a year cince I saw you. I never shall forget you if you are going to see your people think it would be much pleasanter to go a month sooner because it is so much colder there than it is here.
