utiful Merrimac; the city folk are quite proud of their Merrimac and frequently apostrophise it as tis wild and lovely --- I saw it by moonlight too when walking out with Mr Johnson, flowing on in its smooth and beautiful calmness, looking as it did, like a grea[sic] t Looking Glass, reflecting the face of nature or if you please, like a green glass, through which one might look, rush, into the presence of his maker; some 'head over heels' in love swain, who had been disappointed; W^m^ it is tea time now, and I have written enough to redeem myself from the charge of being unneighborly and beside, Mr Johnson is here in the shop waiting for me, When I've seen the Merri mack [sic] to good advantage I'll tell you more about it also other matters My love to all who think me worthy an inquiry after -- Send me a line or two
hastily yr affectionately J B Sanderson
