Last summer (said Aunt Mary), while you were with your father in / Canada, I met for the first time Miss Margaret Tennant of Boston, whom / I had for years a great desire to see and know. My dear friend, Anne / Langdon, has had from her girlhood two very intimate friends; and Miss / Tennant is one, and I the other. Though we each had known the other / through Anne, we had never seen each other before.
I was at the mountains, and upon our being introduced we became very / good friends immediately; and, from at first holding complimentary and / interesting conversations concerning Anne in the hotel parlor, we came / to taking long walks, and spending the most of our time together; and / now we are as fond of each other as possible. When we parted in / September, I had promised to visit her at her house in Boston in the / winter; and, when she was ready for it, I was too.
