Dearest Emma
Yesterday after / coming home from your house / I was compelled to go to bed, and / this morning being no better have / taken medicine which will render / my accompanying you to Brooklyn / impossible. I am very sorry dear / Emma that this should be the end / of our proposed expedition. I know / it will be a great disappointment / to you, and most unwillingly am / I the cause of it. Something seems ever / to prevent me from fulfilling my / engagements with you and I / am almost determined to make no more. Robert is waiting /
Yours /
Mary Ella
