[1 May] [?1827]

 

My dearest Mother

It is rather a bother,

Not to write better

When to you I send a letter,

Which is to say

I wish you a happy day,

And that we may play

On sweet first of May.

But indeed this is stuff

So come & play at blind mans Buff

with your affecte child Henry.

Address, on integral page: Mrs Barrett.

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Wellesley College.
