I hope you will continue to read from time to time . such books as you may find interesting - It will sort of help to fill up the time, during my absence - I fancy however, that you will throw the book aside for a time at least upon my arrival just to see if you still can find anything good or interesting about me or in me- I do not know ((unclear)) much about "Elizabeth Hastings" great power to educate a man who loved here - but the most pleasant part of my education has been derived from my love for you - my own Dear Alice - God bless you. Give our children a mother's kiss for me - and ((unclear)) me ever truly and affectionately B.H.G--
