        a good way astern [and] out of sight.
        About three o'clock a large barge
        helped us. She proved to be a French
        one laden with fish from Labrador
5      for Lyons.70 The sun set beautiful
        tonight. I have been wondering
        what you w[oul]d be engaged about
        [and] thought that perhaps you would
        be writing me. Is it so, Love?
10    Ah, tis hard to get the question answered.
        However I know you will be thinking
        about me, [and] oh I would give to
        know these thoughts, but, Sweetest, its
        day will soon come.
15       “When a maiden can hear all her lover can say,
        When wrapped in each others arms we
        can think aloud, and let each other
        hear our thoughts.”71
