User-Contributed Transcription Clinton W. C. Nov 18, 1881My dear Brother As Dr. Grafs is going to the city and will be in your way I thought I would not let the opportunity pass, with sending you a note. I hope you will be coming out to see me again before a great while, for I have a great deal that I want to say to you; and there is one thing in particular, that I would like to have a talk with you about, but I cannot do it by writing, for until I see you I know nothing certainly of how matters stand. But I will just mention it here, and then wait patiently until I can see you and have a private interview with you; I suppose you know what and who I have reference to; it is Miss P. and the attentions which you are paying to her. Are you in earnest, and have you any serious motive in thus cultivating her acquaintance, and seeking or at least encouraging her affection by your attentive manner towards her? If so, if you are in earnest, I have nothing to say; no objections to make, as I know of; but if you are not, my dear brother, let me encourage you to be circumspect; you are not fondly aware how very sensitive and easily won a lady's heart is. I know that you above all others would shrink with horror from even the idea of trifling with any one's feelings, but remember, you may do it without intending it if you are not on your guard. Perhaps I do not judge illegible not knowing more about it, and that is the reason several words illegible would you. Pardon me for illegible
