As I Grew Up I Was Fervently

As I Grew Up I Was Fervently Desirous Of Becoming Acquainted With Nature.

. . .nature Indifferently Copied Is Far Superior To The Best Idealities.

I Purchased Excellent And Beautiful Horses, Visited All Such Neighbors As I Found In Congenial Spirits, And Was As Happy As Happy Could Be.

I Feel Fully Decided That We Should All Go To Europe Together And To Work As If An Established Partnership For Life Consisting Of Husband Wife And Children.

I Never For A Day Gave Up Listening To The Songs Of Our Birds, Or Watching Their Peculiar Habits, Or Delineating Them In The Best Way I Could.
