Transcription
will soon satisfy your letter appetite - This is a bright warm cloudless day - Nature is in deep close green again & about twenty of her spring flowers are enjoying perfect life in the sweet nursing sunshine - the banks of the valley before me are peopled with countless multitudes of lilies, so it called Lily Valley, I gathered a little coiled borageworta few minutes ago whose sweet fragrance stirred the long silent memories of summer in our old Dunbar garden. It must have something in common with the pansies & dusty millers of our little plots. Strange is it not that as gentle & unmaterial a thing as the fragrance of a flower should live with memory so bright & fresh from youth to age safely
