User-Contributed Transcription Milo Feb 24 ' 42My dear Lucy Your proposition of a regular confidential correspondence meets my wishes exactly. It is what I have myself thought of asking, but a fear of my inability to perform punctually (to say nothing of my indolence) has detered me from doing so; but now that you have volunteered I must heartily acquiese. I think it is out privilege Lucy, and in some measure our duty as member of the same church and indulging the same hopes freely to open our minds to each other and encourage and comfort each other in our pilgrimage.
