Emily Dickinson — Letter 248a ? Charles Wadsworth to ED

My Dear Miss Dickenson I am distressed beyond measure at your note, received this moment, - I can only imagine the affliction which has befallen, or is now befalling you. Believe me, be what it may, you have all my sympathy, and my constant, earnest prayers. I am very, very anxious to learn more definitely of your trial - and though I have no right to intrude upon your sorrow yet I beg you to write me, though it be but a word.                                                                                                In great haste                                                                                       Sincerely and most                                                                           Affectionately Yours -----
