Commentary
- This letter was mailed to Susan Dickinson in late 1885 (THJ, Smith and Hart). Paste marks on the manuscript suggest that it was pasted into an album. For a related fragment, see A 752. The fragment may be a draft of a passage in the letter, or an autonomous text, incorporated into the letter because of its momentary aptness.
