Summary
Telling him he would love for him to visit tomorrow; saying that "surely it is to have a mean, not a noble opinion of me, to think that a seven years single love [Rose La Touche]--the best and the last possible of life, is to be broken into dust and strewed on the streams of time as on idol on Kidron."
