  I send a variety of papers & Report &c just as it was made out for K. What I have said about Geo Walker, pass over, I was childish to be offended by his pomposity, and I have written to him asking for forgiveness as I would not willingly be other than friendly with any friend of Kennicotts. I loved him better than any body else in the world and now he is gone. He trusted me, gave me confidence in my own powers, believed in me, in spite of my shortcomings; to whom shall I look for sympathy, help and advice? 
  But I must crush my grief by hard work and there is plenty at hand now. Don't expect too much, but [[underlined]] write me clearly as to the strong points to be noted [[/underlined]] and I will do my very best.

Sadly yours,
