Dear Clemmy,
Thy very welcome letter came safe in to enclosure. I should have been quite disappointed if thee had not written to me and would like to think that there was not much debate in thy mind about it or at least that inclination took some part in it. Thee would give me a great deal of pleasure if thee would write often good long letters and thee may be very sure that I shall be interested in every thing thee chooses to tell me of thy doings and thinkings. I looked often for a sign that thee had not forgotten us, to appear on opening the letters we received from home while we were at Cape May and when we returned and still received no such sign, nothing but the belief from day today that we should certainly hear from thee before the next, save this from a letter about it in which I expect I should have let fall some little misgivings which I should have reported of as soon as I got thy note. We had a pleasant and restful visit to the seashore and would have been very glad if thee could have had thee with us. I should be almost sorry however that thy first acquaintance with the sea should be made when there is such a throng of visitors, it take away very much from your real enjoyment. I am glad that my first recollections of the

Philadelphia 8mo 31, 1852 Dear Clemmy , Thy very welcome letter came safe in to enclosure. I should have been quite disappointed if thee had not written to me and would like to think that there was not much debate in thy mind about it or at least that inclination took some part in it. Thee would give me a great deal of pleasure if thee would write often good long letters and thee may be very sure that I shall be interested in every thing thee chooses to tell me of thy doings and thinkings. I looked often for a sign that thee had not forgotten us, to appear on opening the letters we received from home while we were at Cape May and when we returned and still received no such sign, nothing but the belief from day today that we should certainly hear from thee before the next, save this from a letter about it in which I expect I should have let fall some little misgivings which I should have reported of as soon as I got thy note.
