Abstract:
Trying to pressure the recipient into visiting. "I'll introduce you to the prettiest gals, the tallest fellows, and the greatest cases generally, that you ever sneezed at or cast sheep's eyes [after]." Cousin Tom Joyner from Virginia is currently visiting and "has won the hearts of all the gals and some others." Was promenading Washington Street where encountered Fanny Willard and received news from Hopkinton, including "wedding scrapes" and details about the Lyceum, its president, and the recipient's paper. Asks for details about the upcoming wedding. Comments on local women as well as a lady visiting Cambridge, calling her "a new star," discussing her social refinement and how she waters her wine. Includes a small scrap of paper with a post-script telling of a visit with "the star," where she gave a humorous account of "Harriman's Exhibition in the old schoolchurch."
