I do not know how it was, but I felt the blessings of the married life more at these times than I did when the weather was fine. You were always dressed 5 so Oh how I loved thee in the tartan dress! {Y}ou appeared so warm and bien like, I could not but love you. There was nothing pleased 10 me more than to see you neatly dressed. Oh Beloved Eliza would to God you will remain true to me [and] that ere twelve months passes over our heads you will be on your way 15 to live with me. Oh lassie Dear how happy one will be then. There is only one fear that rankles [and] lacerates my soul, it is that of your parents going to Australia 20 next year.65 [B]ut Love if such is the case, if they intend leaving Glasgow before twelve months, why then Love you must just come to me [End of Page 36]
