No 28 East 19th St July 24th My dear Friend, Have I in any way, offended you? if so,it has been unwittingly, And God knows how full of repentance, and how anxious I would be to make every atonement. I have been so uneasy, of late, thinking (by your silence) I may have said something in one of my letters to offend, that its impossible for me to [quiet?] my mind to a single line of study, or in fact, to anything else. Oh Isabel dear friend (you said I might call you so) <hr /> please take no offence, at anything I may---inadvertently---have written for believe me I never look over my letters, to weigh their contents, for fear I should destroy them. As I am always---more or less---disgusted with my own bad writing, etc. Therefore what I write is just what I may feel, at the moment, And may often say things to be sorry for. If it has been this forgive me. And tell me of it. And you will see, (at your bidding) how quickly I shall mend. Or is it---as I begin to fear it is---that you are weary of reading my <hr /> poor poor letters. If such is the case I am sorry. Sorry indeed, for having given you a moments trouble. Sorry for myself, that I have allowed my fancy to play so free. I can write no more: The mere thought that, It may be so, seems to paralyze my hand.

No 28 East 19th St July 24th My dear Friend, Have I in any way, offended you? if so,it has been unwittingly, And God knows how full of repentance, and how anxious I would be to make every atonement. I have been so uneasy, of late, thinking (by your silence) I may have said something in one of my letters to offend, that its impossible for me to [quiet?] my mind to a single line of study, or in fact, to anything else. Oh Isabel dear friend (you said I might call you so) <hr /> please take no offence, at anything I may---inadvertently---have written for believe me I never look over my letters, to weigh their contents, for fear I should destroy them. As I am always---more or less---disgusted with my own bad writing, etc. Therefore what I write is just what I may feel, at the moment, And may often say things to be sorry for. If it has been this forgive me. And tell me of it. And you will see, (at your bidding) how quickly I shall mend. Or is it---as I begin to fear it is---that you are weary of reading my <hr /> poor poor letters. If such is the case I am sorry. Sorry indeed, for having given you a moments trouble.
