Mr.\nLongfellow wrote to me a short time ago, for two of his\nautographs, as he wished to send them to a distinguished lady\nin Europe. I was obliged to get them from a friend, as all\nthat I had was given away. If my beloved ones can look down\nfrom Heaven, they will thank and bless you for your kindness\nto the mother whom they loved. Do not for one moment think\nI wish to impose on your generosity, but if you can interest\na few of your friends to send me a couple of bottles of wine,\nand a few oranges, or anything you think will be proper for a\npoor invalid I will be truly thankful. Oh! since I have been\nsuffering so much how much I have wished for some little\ndelicacy, for the food I get here is extremely plain and very\nlittle of it. While I was in Virginia, Mr. Lewis sent me a box\nof oranges which did me so much good. Perhaps you can pre-\nvail on him to contribute to the charity for his old friend. I\ndo not wish you to give one cent towards it, I know you have\nnot the means altho I am convinced you have the heart.
