 Racine, Feb. 2nd 18unclear 

Dear Cynthia,

 Your letter I receive quite unexpected, but with much pleasure. It afforded me much happiness to see that I was not forgotten by you, and that you flung the foolish idea of intrusion by and wrote. I have not doubt but that you have thought yourself forgotten by me by my long delay, but if so you carry a wrong idea, for it is not so. I had one written very soon after receiving yours, and waited from then until now for unclear to write to your father. Don't blame me for laying the fault upon him, for, I don't, it was my fault, because I didn't direct to you. I like Racine very much it is what I expected it to be very pleasantly situated on
