My dear Emma
I regret that it is not in / my power to see you before I leave as I go to / Utica in the morning. The walking has been / so bad, and I have had so many things / to occupy me, that I have not been able / to get on the hill, should you be in / Utica before I return, do let me know / it, that I may see you.
You are going away dear Emma and / perhaps we may never meet again, but / I shall always remember you with the / warmest affection, for you have ever / been a kind, and sincere friend to / me. Do not although we are seperated [sic] / forget to advise me as you used to / do for you know all my faults and

have often set them before me in an / affectionate manner, for which, I now / most sincerely thank you, and hope / you will continue to do so. Do write / to me Dear Emma for I shall prize / your letters very highly. I hope you / will not think that I intend to flatter / you, I only speak the real feelings of / my heart, and wherever you may / be, you will always retain the / affectionate wishes, and prayers / of
Your truly attached friend
