Сторінка 50 - Your kind letter, which travelled a little in pursuit of me, began with the very sentence I have been thinking of writing you for an age at least ! It appeared to me very long since I had heard of or from you, so I was for ever intending and wishing to write, but I had so little to say on what is most interesting to you, poor B.'s subject.
