Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription copied Huntsville Arkansas April 18th 1850Mr. Kendall Dear Sir. Perhaps you have looked for a letter from me and wondered why I did not write, and have thought for a moment, that I had forgotten my promise, or that, that respect and love that I now have and ever have had since our first acquaintance for you had waxed cold. The reason that I have not written, because I have forgotten You! Forgot the many pleasant moments that we have spent to-gether in the capacity of teacher and student and also socially! Forgot the rambles e have taken near the pleasant village of Mt. Washington on seeking some of those pure streams of water whose meandering course finds their way over those high rocks! All these things forgotten! No so ungrateful indeed would I be to let such moments of pleasure pass by unnoticed and unappreciated. Those books which you taught me to peruse by being absent from me may be forgotten. Mythology Aesops Fables
