Emily Harris should be back from Europe at any minute now, and I sure will be glad to see her, I am lonesome, you know and am dying to know all about her trip, expect to go over myself next summer. I "will not"[underlined] remain in the vicinity of N.Y. again if I have to go to jail to get away from it.
