Dear Rebecca

Your letter dated Oct 23rd was duly received, and this evening after so long a time I have sat down to answer it. I received a letter from Nancy last evening, she said you thought very strange at my not writing to you, and when I thought of the length of time that has elapsed since I received your friendly letter, I felt very much ashamed of my neglect to you, and I presume you think I am not a very true friend, but be assured Dear Rebecca that I have not all this time forgotten
