            <text>[page 1] Dear Mr. Fields. Will you be so good as to strike off the &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt; first letters written to the "National Press" and Home Journal, whatever they may be. I think they are marked [inserted] "G. J. H. [?]". and restore the &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;one&lt;/span&gt; headed "Letter to an unrecognized Poetess [?]". This upon consideration I think will be best, and suppose it [inserted] will give you only a moments' trouble to make the alteration. I reached&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[page 2] Lynn yesterday just in time to see Whittier at the depot. He had been over to call on us. was it not provoking. But he promised to stop again tomorrow &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Thursday&lt;/span&gt;. and we wish you and Whipple to come flown there. Perhaps you can all come together. what a glorious trio! My &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;stars&lt;/span&gt;! what a constellation. But do you come anyhow! whether the spirit moves Whittier or no. Perhaps Giles &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[page 3] will be here also. Have the gods do much good fortune [?] in store for us! We are just off for the fishing. We intend to make a day of it. &lt;br /&gt;Ever yours. &lt;br /&gt;Grace G. &lt;br /&gt;Lynn Sept 12. 1849 &lt;br /&gt;P.S. &lt;br /&gt;Let &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;the copyright article&lt;/span&gt; wind up the book. "close the whole" as a methodist would say.</text>
