I think it to be only temporary, still it increases my desire for a more genial climate; and this added to my great desire to see you all, and your[3] 01145wonderful country has led me to tell you all the reasons I had for relinguishing the [struck out word] trip in the first place; and I asure you that the act will, or rather does involve the laying aside of a good deal of Scotch independence not with standing the fact that you have so freely, and in so brotherly a manner told me to let you know if I needed money. The case stands thus: I have just $200.00 (Two Hundred Dollars) of my own, which I have earned[5] hardly leave here before Februrary - Now perhaps that will be just the time when you will have made your visit here and be ready to returnWill that be a safe desirable time to travel?
