as to your being there with the company Miss Mol- lie had on Easter, I don't know how you would have enjoyed yourself, for I suppose she had only her own company that day. Certain I am that she didn't have mine. I will explain. She sent me word on Saturday morning before that she would like to come to town that evening so as to start from there in the morning, if I could bring her a conveyance. I sent her word I would stop plowing at dinner,

Miss Emma Davis
Very dear friend, I will try tonight to answer your gladly received and closely perused missive, which I received on Friday, and I hope to dispell some of the anger with which you answered my last, or at least not make matters worse. Emma, I am sorry, more so than I will ever be able to tell you on paper, that this misunderstanding should have occurred between us. And I am afraid to write to you for fear you will misconstrue my meaning, as you seem to have done all the way through my last; nothing was farther from my thoughts than the idea of being mad with you or having my feelings hurt
