 My dear Doctor


 I am sorry that Mother 
 did not request you to bring Jane with 
 you on your return. She has had my invitation 
 some days, and I much wish that 
 you, on receipt of this, would write her to meet 
 you in New York, say Friday morning, and 
 come on with you. Arrange the time and all 
 that as you find most convenient, but do bring 
 the girl, for it is a pity she should be shut 
 up in a gloomy school, while her sisters 
 are enjoying themselves here. If you will 
 only stay, and I really hope you will strain 
 a point for it, to even the middle of next 
 week, we can all together visit Lowell, the 
 Blind Asylum, and perhaps Nahant. I do
 not say in words, how deeply gratified and honored
 I feel for this visit. I hope no expressions 
 of welcome are necessary, but I shall part with
 you all very unwillingly. I have endeavored in
 my poor, and I fear sometimes apparently ungracious
 way to render their stay pleasant and putting 
 them in the way of seeing those things that I 
 suppose most interest them. To-morrow is 
 exhibition, the next Class-day. I wish I am were
