Although there may have
been between us feelings of coldness, nay of
hate even, yet any relation as classmate forbids
that I should have without bidding you,
and through you, others of my classmates
that are here and are on unspeakable
terms with me, a kind -- perhaps a
final farewell
"Farewell - a sound that must be & hath been
"A sound that makes us linger - yet - Farewell
I have the honor to be
Your classmate

Respected Clasmate
Your letter of the 26 ult. bidding
us a kind farewell was duly received & thank you for
it. From what I seen, and from what I had heard
I suppose that feelings were entertained by you which
would forever preclude even this much. But Robert I have
never felt coldness or hate toward you. For a little
moment I did indeed find that you were not kind
in endeavoring as I then supposed you did. to have
these articles read in the Lit. Soc. but it vanishes when I
learned the facts in the case.
I have always felt that misunderstanding and the
bitter tongue were at the foundation of the whole
matter, and were the great cause of the alienation of
feeling which has been as painfully manifest
In bidding you farewell if it as a final one, permit
me, cordially to wish you success wherever you may be
and the happiness that flows from conscious rectitude.
