bachelor you I warned you last winter and you would not prepare for me
W now shiver and shake to your own hearts content for you deserve worse quarters
than what you have got but I intend to do better and if the weather holds
this way I would like to do better soon so I think I will court somebodys
gall between this and Christmas Anyhow Ne Plus Ultra
3rd A cold Disagreeable day I have been sitting by the first nearly
all day endeavoring to keep warm Let H D William have 98 lbs of pork at
5% cts.
When other Friends
When other Friends are Ifound thee
And other Hea ts are thine
When other Bg§s have crowned thee
More Fresh and green than mine
This doating heart will be
l Which while it beats beats only
B6l0ved one for thee
Yet do nd`. think I doubt thee
I know thy truth remains
I would not live without thee
For all the world contains
Thou are the star that guides me
Along lifes troubled sea
And whatever fate beties me
This Heart still turns to thee - By Morris
Constancy
Affection can one token give
Unchanging to the last
To prove its purity may live
True to the cherished past
Though adverse fate may ever strive
The fond Hearts warmth to chill
True love once knowm will never change
Through earthly bliss or ill
·········But constant to its gentle will
The spirits guardian Power
‘ Oerrules the Heart as firmly still
As in its earliest hour.
And even in Death an ardent love
The sinking Heart will woo
As Gently Turns the eye above
Upon the field of blue
