MOST PRECIOUS AND UNFORGETTABLE SIR!

It is now more than twelve months since I had the pleasure of seeing
your grateful person upon our shore.

I have real pleasure in telling you that my dear father is in the
enjoyment of good health and greatly desires to see you again.

Three months ago my heart was destroyed in consequence of the ascent
into heaven of my adored mamma. I cannot find words to express to
you my grief. It would have been better if the good God had taken me
as well, for I shall have no more pleasure in life.

I announce to you that on Sunday next my wedding will be celebrated.

I can never forget your exquisite courtesy and the kind thoughts you
nourish with regard to me. I beg you to believe that I am now, and
for all my life shall be, bound to you by affection, devotion and
respect.

PAMPALONE GIUSEPPE.
