Emily Dickinson - Letter 296 (Cambridge, November 1864) Lavinia N. Dickinson lyrics

Does Vinnie think of Sister? Sweet news. Thank Vinnie. Emily may not be able as she was, but all she can, she will. Father told me that you were going. I wept for the little Plants, but rejoiced for you. Had I loved them as well as I did, I could have begged you to stay with them, but they are Foreigners, now, and all, a Foreigner. I have been sick so long I do not know the Sun. I hope they may be alive, for Home would be strange except them, now the World is dead. Anna Norcross lives here, since Saturday, and two new people more, a person and his wife, so I do little but fly, yet always find a nest. I shall go Home in two weeks. You will get me at Palmer, yourself. Let no one beside come. Love for Eliza, and Mr Dudley. Sister.
