Boston, May 23d, 1845
Ownest Dearest,
I write this little note in order to warn thee in due season that I shall not be at home till Monday. Hillard has made an engagement for me with Longfellow for Sunday; so that, without disappointing both of those worthies1 exceedingly, I cannot come away sooner. Belovedest, I love thee a million times as much every hour that I stay away from thee; and my heart swells2 toward thee like a mighty3 flood. Also, I have a yearning4 for our little Una; and whenever I go, and with whomsoever I am talking, the thought of thee and her is ever present with me. God bless thee! What a happy home we have. That is the knowledge that I gain by staying away from thee. 152
Remember me to "Our Boarder."
In utmost haste,
Thine Ownest Husband.
Mrs. Sophia A. Hawthorne,
Concord, Mass.
