Summary:Writes "I was sorry to disappoint you last Tuesday night. You know the motto "Business before pleasure". You say you hope I was engaged upon a statue. I suppose you mean to hope it was a stone one. Shurely [sic] Maggie you don't think I was engaged upon any other sort of a one - a live one for instance. I say, I am wondering if you need any consolation all this time, and if so are you seeking it in the bosom of the church or upon the breast of that same stalwart countryman of yours - which you mentioned. I believe you blew me up in your last for not writing more affectionately. Do you know you are slightly open to the same charge but I forgive you. Do you forgive me also at the same time love. I think it all fancy on your part..."
