Ladies
I thank you for the pure-intense joy which at this moment fills my very soul. I thank you, because on the eve of my departure when my mind was absorbed by saddening thoughts, the token of your regard infused a glow of delight within me. But if I am highly gratified at the presentation of your beautiful gift, how shall I adequately express my thanks at for the touching man--ner in which it was conveyed? Like the inspired bard I exclaim "Who am I Oh God, that thou hast brought me to this?" Not long since I was a total stranger among you, and now I carry within me the assurance of having won your affection. May the Almighty has who their vouchsafed to bless me thus ever be praised; May the tone feelings which we reciprocally entertain be never grow weak change and may He grant that I may see in greeting at my return I may see you again in the joyment alive and happy in of perfect he the bosoms of your respective families. I subscribe myself Ladies Your obedient servant
8th June 1884[?]
