But, my own very best friend, and more than sister, don't think that I mean to leave my love and friendship for you behind me.

No, Paula, you will ALWAYS be with me, and I believe that if an increase in what I already feel for you be possible, it will be furthered by the retirement and meditation I shall enjoy in my secluded home.

My heart is very full, dear--too full to write more.

God bless you, and your husband.

You must come and see me there; I have not so many friends that I can afford to lose you who have been so kind.
