Written to Elizabeth Kate when upon her return to
Callahans after a long absence and expressing
feelings of guilt about it:
From Cortland:
Cringe not;
Thy guilt, if any,
Be assuaged
By duty done.
Thou hast thy work
(And well, I trow)
Engaged in.
Until now!
Elizabeth Kate posted this reply:
A patient to a
Lyric nurse,
You soothe my conscience
With your verse!
-- Cortland and Elizabeth Kate
