My dearest Emmeline -

Very many thanks to you for your liberal gift to me - so much more liberal than I was to you not however from want of inclination I hope - but from the want of the articles than of my having allowed your kind recollection of me to remain so long unacknowledged. In truth I know not why except that I have been writing to England

[Cross-hatched writing]
Mr. Macarthurs note, so pray ask Aunt Livy to say nothing of all this in any letter she may write to Camden.  She is inclined to be fidgetty & James therefore thought it best to be silent on the subject.  Our united love to you both
