Dear Miss Mag
Another
day has dawned, and again I find my heart the same to her who I must call
dearest Mag. I wrote you
yesterday, but a monitor within moves me insensibly to the same pleasing task
today. Verily, I say unto you our
destiny will be one if I am to judge from my own
feelings. Nearer, and closer, as time
rolls on does thy being seem to entwine itself around my own. Such the feelings, such the sentiments of
your devoted “Mas Fess” – a feeling a sentiment not born
of Earth. From now, thence
forward, (dear Mag) I will make amends for the past, I love you more than ever;
for I must say, it is a sentiment that gains strength with me every day.
If
nothing happened Dr. K.H. Oakman & my self will be at your happy home on
Thursday night next. We will come by
private conveyance. Bob is anxious to
see you & Mrs. Glass. He praises you
both very much. I am not certain you
will get this before we come; but I hope you will.
Dear
Miss Mag, I know I am not worthy of your pure & gentle heart, but one thing
I will try & deserve it. But good by
for the present. When I see you, we will
talk a great deal.
I
am, dear Mag, yours very truly.
