Holyoke. Feb. 6. 1849.Dear Calla
How very happy I am tonight in thinking that on Saturday I shall see you again. I am so glad that it came tonight for I have been quite unwell, and it is almost impossible for me to sit up to write the few lines that I shall send in the morning. It is only temporary illness and by Saturday I shall be as well as you are, for it is only a little sensual excitement that affects me now. I should have written you before this if I had been at the Seminary but I was detained at home a week by illness. Enoch Jagger was there, and visited at our house twice and he was there only three days of the time that that I was. He is now in Weslain [sic] University preparing to be a minister. Father thinks he is a very fine young man. I shall see you alone very soon and then we will talk freely. Come very early and return late. Come directly to the Seminary and then we will see what to do. You cannot mistake the Seminary for it is the only brick, and I had almost said the only building in South Hadley. I anticipate your visit so much, I shall be so happy. Miss Watson rooms next door to my self. She is sick as I am, but we both shall be quite well on Saturday. You don't know how much good your letter will do us both. She sends her love to all three of you, and if this letter could contain even the overflowings of my heart towards you all, I would send mine too. I can write no more now, but believe me your
dearest friend,
