I hear you are an accomplished driver, so I send my pet to your care without anxiety." I sent a man to her home to drive out with this delightful treasure, and pictured myself taking long and daily drives over our excellent country roads.

Nellie, dear Nellie; I loved her already.

How I would pet her, and how fond she would become of me.

Two lumps of sugar at least, every day for her, and red ribbons for the whip.

How she would dash along! A horse for me at last! About 1.45 A.M., of the next day, a carriage was heard slowly entering the yard.
