"My dear Miss Fairfield" - ahem! Not too [tender?], eh? Not tender at all? But I want it somewhat tender. I think so myself - To continue- ahem! "My intentions being honorable and my admiration sincere, and my estimation of your [issues?] inexpressible on paper, allow me to address my self to your [domide?] this evening with the undefeated hope" - ah, ahem; anticipation, [rather?] - "of seeing you in solitude" - How is that? [te, te, te?] III [illeg.] Col [Fitbottom?] Foreyth.
