Time
would fail
me if I should
undertake
to mention
the valued
friendships
which have
gladdened
my many years
in Boston,
or to indicate
the social
pleasures
which have
alternated
with my more
serious pursuits.
One or two
of these friends
I must mention,
lest my reminiscences
should be
found lacking
in the good
savor of gratitude."

Her Reminiscences
