Dear Emma
I have not time to / come and say good bye. I am going to Utica, and shall / stay there till Aunt comes out. / Mother will write to me / and let me know if I am / to return, or go to New York / with Aunt. I do not know / what the result will be. I / hope that I shall be back / in a week. If I should be / gone all summer, do write to / me often. I feel so forlorn / that I do not know what / to do at the idea of leaving / [“H”?] this summer but I shall look on the bright -side. Give my best love to Mother /
[END OF PAGE 1]
Mrs W, Ogden and all my / dear friends if I have any [and?] / dont [sic] forget all about me if / I should not come back.
Good bye
Susan M Clark
I hope you will have a pleasant / walk this evening, don’t let / any living mortal see this / splendid epistle. Bid all / the people good bye for me
