Longwood Jul 10. 1854 Dear Cynthia I shall certainly endeavor to dissuade the missourians, from digging up those pie-plants, for they and one little Raspberry alone remains of all the plants roots and cuttings that came to us from far-off Oneida And so your little timid buttercups have kept themselves hidden till June -Hey? why here they were out in April coquetting with sun-and shower Laughing and dancing mid the light breeze that were stealing the dew-gems from their glittring brows, Long, long time ago they stept into the gray of life while their old admirers forgetful of their charms they wore, are now wooing July blossoms and "half-opened buds."
