Emily Dickinson — Letter 252 early 1862 - Franklin: about 1861 Samuel Bowles

Dear Mr Bowles. I cant thank you any more - You are thoughtful so many times, you grieve me always - now. The old words are numb - and there a'nt any new ones - Brooks - are useless - in Freshet-time - When you come to Amherst, please God it were Today - I will tell you about the picture - if I can, I will -        Speech - is a prank of Parliament -        Tears - a trick of the nerve -        But the Heart with the heaviest freight on -        Does'nt - always - move -                                                                                                          Emily.
