Miss Lucy Chase

My dear Miss Lucy

I have yours of Feby 7th. also one of the 22nd Inst:

I supposed you had "seceded," and abandoned everything pertaining to the White persuasion in the way of poverty and ignorance. Especially s I saw your name reannounced in the "Record" as of the society's missionaries. Now you have reappeared I will try and find you when I again visit Norfolk.

If ladies ever wait patiently, you must try and do so, holding on to your supplies; or not as you think best, for surely you have the best title to them and the direction of their disposal.

I shall be over in a few days.

Very Respectfully,

Chas. A. Raymond.

Miss Chase
