Just returned from Uncle Rufus’. Mr. B. introduced me to Uncle; he
took my hand, introduced us to his wife, and they both seemed much
pleased to see us. Uncle is so easy and graceful and pleasing, I was
delighted with him. Looks very like _Mr. Parker_ instead of _Mr.
Davis_; enquired particularly after the family; was surprised at my
being here,—said everything that was pleasant, hoped we should be very
sociable, etc., etc.; and after a pleasant half-hour we returned home.
I broke the seal of my letter to tell you; ’tis late, I can’t be
particular.
