My Darling Girl:
It is a perfect chance to disappoint you–at this time but I fear I shall harm to. I may go to Texas next month. have had a fine positon offered me and if not shall practice here–as I always enough to do only–I dislike country practice. I was very much in hopes to have been with you and hope now to visit you before a year goes by.
I will pray the dear Father to take you into his care + keeping and I can say to you as Cardinal Woodsey said to Dean Swift when the latter came to him for relief in trouble
“If the Lord afflicts thee there is He with thee and in His presence what am I”
Give kisses to the little one and regards to Mr Ames with much love for yourself dear [?]
Thank you dear for wanting me at this time
I was at Commencement a large class five girls
(Good bless them)
Your friend love,
Louise
