[Hope End]
[6 March] [e?1828] [1]
Dearest sister
I have a blister
Upon my finger
Which doth hinder
Me from writing a long letter
But when it is well I’ll write it better
And when I am grown a nice large man
I’ll please you better than I now can
But I am convinced you love me now
Yes better than your pretty cow
Dearest Ba I must bid you farewell
How much I love you I cannot tell[.]
ou’s dear Sette
