September 1, 1847
Greetings to you both, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke,
I am expressing my thoughts to the two of you about my seeing your invitation in the
letter to the king on the 30th of this past August, to go to Loeau's wedding tomorrow evening, and
I was also invited by the letter to go as well. It seems wrong to me that I go, for I have wronged
you both and everyone there. Therefore, I am apologizing before the Lord for my wrongdoing
towards him. As for your inviting me
[Page 2 of 3]
to attend as well, I, the wrongdoer, shall oblige, and may you both forgive me for my wrong, as
my apologies are sincere.
Yours truly,
with gratitude
