"Where friendship full exerts her softest power,
Perfect esteem enlivened by desire
Ineffable, and sympathy of soul:
Thought meeting thought, and will preventing will,
With boundless confidence: for naught but love
Can Answer love, and render bliss secure. - Thomson."

"Muy querida amiga, espero me despenses la tardanza para darte contestacion a tu muy digna postal, te aseguro que he llevado un susto muy grande para la mala suerte que tuve de averme clavado un dedo con la abuja de la maquina, pues me entro sobre la una, y me salio debajo del dedo, y ya estoy muy aliviada. Recuerdos de todos de nosotras para todas ustedes. T.V.C."
"My very estimate friend, I hope you forgive me for the lateness of the reply to your very worthy postal, I assure you that I have been scared because I accidentally stab myself with the needle of the machine, it went over my nail through the other side of the finger, but now I'm relieved. Memories from all of us to all of you. T.V.C." |
