_ Early Letters To John S. Dwight
Chapter XXXVIII

MILTON HILL, Midnight, July 16, '46.

My dear Friend,--I could not come this evening, and shall only have time in the morning to go to Boston and take the cars; so we must part so. I will copy some of my verses for you if I can steal the time, and write you from Europe if David Jones permits me to arrive.

I must say good-bye and good-night in some lines of Burns's which haunt me at this time, though they have no appropriateness; but they have a speechless woe of farewell, like a wailing wind:


"Had we never loved sae kindly,
Had we never loved sae blindly,
Never met or never parted,
We had never been broken hearted."


Yr friend

G.W.C.

I shall write you again. Will you give this to Jno. Cheever? I have no wafer. _
