Letter 320 (about August 1866) Susan Gilbert di*kinson lyrics

Sister

Ned is safe - Just "serenaded" Hannah, and is running off with a Corn Leaf "tail," looking back for cheers, Grandma "hoped" characteristically "he would be a very good Boy."

"Not very dood" he said, sweet defiant Child! Obtuse ambition of Grandmamas! I kissed my hand to the early train but forgot to open the Blind, partly explaining your negligence.

Nothing is heard from Worcester though Father demanded a telegram, and the Dudleys delay for weather, so Susan shall see Hugh -

It rains in the Kitchen, and Vinnie trades Blackberries with a Tawny Girl - Guess I wont go out. My Jungle fronts on Wall St - Was the Sea cordial? Kiss him for Thoreau -

Do not fear for Home -

Be a bold Susan -

Clara sold the tobacco, and is good to Ned -

Dreamed of your meeting Tennyson in Ticknor and Fields -

Where the Treasure is, there the Brain is also -

Love for Boy -
