It is so discouraging not to have any advice and companionship about my work. When I get really well John says we will ask Cousin Henry and Julia down for a long visit; but he says he would as soon put fire works in my pillow case as to let me have those stimulating people about now. IT IS SO DISCOURAGING NOT TO HAVE ANY ADVICE AND COMPANIONSHIP ABOUT MY WORK WHEN I GET REALLY WELL JOHN SAYS WE WILL ASK COUSIN HENRY AND JULIA DOWN FOR A LONG VISIT BUT HE SAYS HE WOULD AS SOON PUT FIREWORKS IN MY PILLOW CASE AS TO LET ME HAVE THOSE STIMULATING PEOPLE ABOUT NOW
 need wish, and, of course, I would not be so silly as to make him uncomfortable just for a whim. I’m really getting quite fond of the big room, all but that horrid paper. Out of one window I can see the garden, those mysterious deep-shaded arbors, the riotous old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees. Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate. There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house. I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least. He says that with my imaginative power and habit of story-making a nervous weakness like mine is sure to lead to all manner of excited fancies, and that I ought to use my will and good sense to check the tendency. So I try. I think sometimes that if I were only well enough to write a little it would relieve the press of ideas and rest me. But I find I get pretty tired when I try.  ONE NEED WISH AND OF COURSE I WOULD NOT BE SO SILLY AS TO MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE JUST FOR A WHIM I'M REALLY GETTING QUITE FOND OF THE BIG ROOM ALL BUT THAT HORRID WALLPAPER OUT OF ONE WINDOW I CAN SEE THE GARDEN THOSE MYSTERIOUS DEEP SHADED ARBOURS THE RIDOUS OLD FASHIONED FLOWERS AND BUSHES AND GNARLEY TREES OUT OF ANOTHER I GET A LOVELY VIEW OF THE BAY AND A LITTLE PRIVATE WHARF BELONGING TO THE ESTATE THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL SHADED LANE THAT RUNS DOWN THERE FROM THE HOUSE I ALWAYS FANCY I SEE PEOPLE WALKING THESE NUMEROUS PATHS AND ARBOURS BUT JOHN HAS CAUTIONED ME NOT TO GIVE WAY TO FANCY IN THE LEAST HE SAYS THAT WITH MY IMAGINATIVE POWER AND HABIT OF STORY MAKING A NERVOUS WEAKNESS LIKE MINE IS SURE TO LEAD TO ALL MANNER OF EXCITED FANCIES AND THAT I OUGHT TO TRY TO USE MY WILL AND GOOD SENSE TO CHECK THE TENDENCY SO I TRY I THINK SOMETIMES THAT IF I WERE ONLY WELL ENOUGH TO WRITE A LITTLE MORE IT WOULD RELIEVE THE PRESS OF IDEAS AND REST ME BUT I FIND I GET PRETTY TIRED WHEN I TRY
