Transcription

Fanwood Decr 23rd 43
I enclose this to you my young friend, of course aware of its contents and truly regret the necessary interruption to our social intercourse which should never have been turned from friendship into romance—I am too soft hearted towards young people not to make every excuse for them, yet it is peculiarly unpleasant to me having my daughters name connected by report, where the want of profession or decided stand in life must ever forbid her parents sanction—
Truly your friend
E. M. Monroe
