Emily Dickinson - Letter 220 (about 1860 - Franklin: early 1861) Samuel Bowles lyrics

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 gra** - worries one like a Wasp. The Rose is for Mary. Emily.
