Another opportunity affords itself
for me to send a few lines home, although I

importance, thought of and talked about
every hour, is it me or my badness that is
[Miss...?] of course it is my sweet self. I tell
you I feel "as swwet as peach" ['as...peach' underscored] this evening,
I should like for you to see me, I'm as
dirty as a p - i - g - hog, I mean my clothes
are. I bathe nearly every day. -
