Transcript	[Page 1] Cambridge, June 3d [18]60 Dear Old Friend , Well Shep. I hope you have not irrevocably consigned me to a stygian adventure on a slab for you know how averse I am to a sulphurous atmosphere, and that I may convince you that it is all owing to Manifest Destiny. A victim of neglect indirectly but to jump what may be essential to our final reckoning. I will come to the realities as they are. Your letter dated May 4th was duly rec'd and Sir Shep, most eagerly devoured and just now I have reread it and find it true the "olden feeling" something. Satan maybe has made me neglect correspondents generally for the last month and bound me up in the law. I have no better excuse
