Emily Dickinson — Letter 220 about 1860 - Franklin: early 1861 Samuel Bowles

Dear Mr Bowles.     Thank you.         "Faith" is a fine invention         When Gentlemen can see -         But Microscopes are prudent         In an Emergency. You spoke of the "East." I have thought about it this winter. Dont you think you and I should be shrewder, to take the Mountain Road? That Bareheaded life - under the grass - worries one like a Wasp. The Rose is for Mary.                                                                                                        Emily.
