_To Mrs. Talbot_
New York, October 22.
You tell me, my dear Jane, that you are coming to reside in this city;
but you have not gratified my impatience by saying how soon. Tell me when
you propose to come. Is there not something in which I can be of service
to you?--some preparations to be made?
Tell me the day when you expect to arrive among us, that I may wait on
you as soon as possible.
I shall embrace my sister with a delight which I cannot express. I will
not part with the delightful hope of one day calling you truly such.
Accept the fraternal regards of Mr. Montford.
