employed, officially & unofficially, in
carrying them out.
I will not prey upon you with any remarks:
but will only say that every woman of
large experience knows that from 16 to
18 is the dangerous age for girls: & therefore
your Association-plan at the end is
peculiarly important.
If there is the least risk of "copies enough"
not "being bespoken" "to publish at all",
pray let me "bespoke" 20, or any larger
number which may help to avert such
a catastrophe.
I will not say either how deeply touched I was
by your former letter: & indeed by your
writing at all.
May God grand us that you have perfect
rest now: & perfect recovery by & bye.
