and Louisa think the matter over and write me by next mail after receipt of this - whether you decide to come here - or remain at Gibson. I will leave this open until after the mail comes - I have just written a long letter to John - and this to you has spun itself out at some length - So I I [sic] think I'll let it Stop.

Good night my love - Good night - Affectionately B.H.G.

P.S.

    I forgot to mention that I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letters of Feb. 2nd & 5th Sent out to me after I left there and of letters from you upon arrival here - dated Jan'y 10th 18th 20th & 28th So I am at last fully posted - but at rather a late date.

Yours [?] B.H.G.
