Miss Mariana:-- It has been a long since I had the pleasure of seeing
and talking with you. Can't you come to see us? Come down. My niece will keep
you company, when you wish to jump round during the day, and I'll talk to you
around the fireside in the evening. If you don't soon come to see us, I'll have
to go to see you. My kindest regards to your Ma and sister.
Your Friend, heartily,
Jno. H. Wartmann
Cannot "Mary" send us some inspirations of her pen and brain which will not come under the rule which exacts compensation for publication? J.H.W.
