It was as follows:
I shall always regard you as very dear to me, because our hearts
have been turned in the same way. It may not be perhaps that we
shall know each other much at first; but I hope the days may come
when we shall be much older than we are now, and that then we may
meet and be able to talk of what has passed without pain. I do not
know why a Jewess and a Christian woman should not be friends.
I have sent a few things which may perhaps be of comfort to your
father. In pity to me do not refuse them. They are such as one
woman should send to another. And I have added a little trifle
for your own use. At the present moment you are poor as to money,
though so rich in the gifts which make men love. On my knees before
you I ask you to accept from my hand what I send, and to think of
me as one who would serve you in more things if it were possible.
Yours, if you will let me, affectionately, REBECCA.
I see when I look at them that the shoes will be too big.
