Text Any textual data included in the document [3402] Beloved Queen, It was only my own verses which I wanted to send you, the one I had told you of before, the "+++.” It seemed incongruous after I had left you, that I should have made such strenuous efforts to reach you with them at once. But I had the feeling that you were setting out on the most trackless of journeyings, and that I should never hit you anywhere. Oh, my dear Queen, it grieves me that I cannot see you. I never dreamed that you would wander off so early. I [3403] thought I should come and sit at your feet, in your own house, for three or four days, as you asked me, in the beginning of my winter. But I shall certainly overtake you once more, either at Providence or Boston. I shall not call that last hurried look a Goodbye.— It makes me anxious when I recollect how tired you looked Thursday night. Oh - do not run risks with your precious self. Think how we love you.— Give me just half a minute, some day, not much more – and send me the list of your engagements that I may [reverse 3402] know where you are to be. Perhaps, I may hear you more than once. The Horatius rings in my ears still – and the “Lying together in silence”! I never knew what a poem that was till I heard you read it. I wish you could have seen Adams Ayer[?] that night, the man I told you of, who was with me; he is deaf in one ear; he heard every word you said! -- He is a simple hearted quiet gentle person; he lost [underlined] color [underlined] under the Horatius! At end of it, he said, “That is all [underlined] I can bear.” -- The next day he said, “I am hearing her all the time”! Oh you grand [word crossed out] darling woman, [reverse 3403] do you realize what it is to be so great as you are! And then to have your heart too! When I said to him “Her heart is as great as her genius”, he sighed [underlined] and said, “If there can be such women why are there not more.” He has a story poor fellow. All the men I see now-a-days have. My sympathies are fast going over to their side as the side on the whole of the greatest sufferin and oppression. – Miss Woolsey and I are alone here. The woods are ablaze; my little [den?] also, with as much of the woods as I can get in. Oh will you ever ever see my Bethlehem. God bless you my +++ Lady. Goodnight - Your faithful love Helen H [added on 3402 vertically] Do you want some bright leaves & ferns to take out next?
