Hopeton Aug' 15, 68Dear twin Ann, I was sorry to know that you had borrowed trouble over me, your anxiety was of far too rapid a growth, having sprouted, leafed, & fruited ere it had any business to come out of the ground, - Those three months in which I was reported missing were the flowerist of all the months of my existence, no matter what direction I travelled I still waded in flowers by day, & slept with them by night, hundreds of flowery gems of most surpassing loveliness touched my feet at every step, and buried them out of sight, I was very happy, the larks & insects long streams of unmeasured joy, glorious mountain walls around me; a sky of plants beneath, & a sky of light above All kept by their Maker in perfect beauty
