On Saturday evening I was at the Academy, and on Sunday at the Handel and Haydn. I have by Burrill a letter from Cranch, and a book of German songs from Isaac. More anon.
Your friend ever,
G.W. Curtis.

PROVIDENCE, March 5th, '45.
My dear Friend,—I hope to see you at Brook Farm by Friday, intending to remain until Friday P.M. Here in Providence I have been having a quiet good time, though the weeks have flown faster than I thought weeks could fly. Mrs. Burges received a Phalanx from Miss Russell, in which we found a good deal of interesting matter. I hear from her that she will write by me to Miss Russell.
To-day it rains merrily, a warm southern April rain; and the weeks of mild weather hint that there must be ploughing and sowing very soon. I anticipate my summer work with a good deal of pleasure.
Yours truly and hastily,
G.W. Curtis.
