Addressed to:
Miss Emma Nicholas
I am extremely sorry my / dear Emma that you are going to leave / the City without my seeing you, but so / it has happened but I hope we shall / meet again when and how I cannot say.
Will you accept this trifle as a slight / token of affection from one who will / ever remember the happy hours she has / spent in your society, and that you may / find health and happiness in your new / home is the prayer of your
Attached friend
