User-Contributed Transcription Brookfield Mar 8, 1852 My dear Connie, In respect to personal acquaintance, we must I suppose regard each other as nearly or quite strangers. It has been a long time since we met, and now probably we might meet without ?. I am induced however to address you a single time, from the fact of learning a few weeks since, when at Royalston that you are agitating the question of taking up the study of Theology as preparatory to this Christian ministry, and also are thinking of connecting yourself with the school at Cambridge. Now if you have a taste and desire to enter the ministry, I am very glad to learn it; and I am anxious all the more if such be the fact, to see you and with other things talk with you about it. And I wish to inquire, whether I cannot hope to see you! Can you make it convenient to visit me
