Still thy approval, like a breath, 
From the sweet South has come, 
Whose magic touch an influence hath, 
Waking the spells of home; 
These place thee from the crowd — apart, 
With those to whom I sing, 
In the warm gushings of my heart 
Such strains as here I bring! 
Very sincerely your’s, 
August 30, 1846. 
Saint Louis, Mo.
