Dear Mr Bowles.

I cant thank you any more - You are thoughtful so many times, you grieve me always - now. The old words are numb - and there a'nt any new ones - Brooks - are useless - in Freshet-time -

When you come to Amherst, please God it were Today - I will tell you about the picture - if I can, I will -

       Speech - is a prank of Parliament -
       Tears - a trick of the nerve -
       But the Heart with the heaviest freight on -
       Does'nt - always - move -

                                                                                                         Emily.
