warm hearted kind person. The longer I know her the more I like her. I am afraid I must now conclude which I am most unwilling to do as I should like to continue writing to you but I have stupidly allowed the fire to go out and is very cold. I am sure also it must be late. Everybody is in bed and asleep but myself. I hope you will forgive me for writing such a short letter. I shall write a longer one by the next mail. Good night dearest and believe me to remain ever your affectionate Susan Douglas Strang
