User-Contributed Transcription nearly sixteen I meet her again; she has nice pretty manners, + I think she is good hearted; but...I think she is inclined to flatter, she has a habit of depreciating herself which is affected, + she is decidedly too fond of talking about young men + boys, + she repeated things she had said to them, which were not nice exactly. Mamma never liked my writing to her though she never directly opposed it, + to tell the truth I know nothing of her family, save her Father was a sea Captain, + Mrs Lewis in Chicago is her Aunt. If we got to Europe I shall not see her for years, so I shall be as kind as may be here, I shall only see her once more, + then I will gradually (so as not to wound her feelings) leave off writing to her; I'll make a package of her letters, + she will be another of my "decayed friendships". I'm sorry, but I think it will be best to do so.
