Scope and Contents The attack of sickness he had was quite violent, perhaps the most severe he has had in twelve years; is now fully restored except his strength; the picture she sent was for a time misplaced but has been found and often inspected ever since; "Absence will never conquer the love which I bear for my sweet Marguerite, and if anything should prevent our marriage, I shall love you still, to the end of my days"; did not intend to sound sarcastic when he spoke of her going dancing with another escort; knows of no one except his children, himself, and Mr. Bogart's Family who dance; if Mrs. Bogart continues to object to his loving her [MG] "then she [Mrs. B] must object, that's all"; gratified that she thought of him at the feast on Friday but hops she did not miss the dancing afterwards because of him; had six doctors and four preachers visit him during his sickness; wonders if he can visit her during the week as he does not think he can wait until Saturday. 13 pp. ALS
