Transcription

HF 3042 R Utica June 22nd 1833 My dear Emma / Mifs Masters will be / the bearer of this and your [?] [?] which / I hope will fit you. They are a little too / short for me, and your foot you know is a / little shorter than mine. They were 11 / shillings, as I have not a shilling to / send back, you must trust me until I / can find an opportunity, or until you see / me again which time I hope will come / sooner than we anticipated when I was in Hamilton, Did you receive my letter? / I wrote last week, why do you not answer it? Mama has gone to / Whitesborough, and I think of going up / Page 2 Next week. I have been going about ever since / my return, and I am quite tired of seeing / every body, one hour with you is better / than all the visiting and calling I have / done since I left you. I almost begin to / wish for “a lodge in some vast wilderness! / however it will be still enough in / Whitesborough, and not- withstanding I get / fatigued. There, I hope I do not undervalue / the kindnefs of my friends. My love to your mother and Matilda and write to me soon / Your affectionate / Eliza Storrs Back Mifs Emma Nicholas / Hamilton / Mifs Masters. /
