Sister,      
      
           
i do not know that Creation has given            
me any pain which i needs must still            
have thoughts on – Although with Love            
everything is possible – Thank you for            
being. Even as a child of grace i was            
unable to let go. This will not avenge            
my life in Love, will it?          
         
It is seen that those who are not dead        
Live today; that Truth is acknowledged;        
that Only Love can hurt but Only Love        
helps the Wound and that we should All        
be one of this great Creation's creatures        
– This would make a difference in all of        
our daily favorites as well as in those        
repairs which thought and nature do        
customarily make.            
           
In Music there is a Major and a Minor –            
Should there not also be a Private?            
           
Good night – i can sleep if i allow my            
eyes to hear it – Now that i want, i want            
a song sung in Tunis.            
           
– And Tripoli, i still want to know if you've named me.            
           
Emily.

Section approved. The quotation above            
is from Hebrews 12.6: "...whom the            
Lord loves he chasteneth..."            
           
Apparently, Holland requested Emily            
pay a visit to Springfield.            
           
Dickinson then signed into your            
handbook. It follows below. The            
handwriting is the same as the            
previous letter. Date conjectured            
from that.
