Excerpt from Life and Letters of William Barton Rogers, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited by His Wife
I am always impatient to hear from you. Daily I feel the want of your companionship, and indeed this feeling instead of lessening grows continually stronger. I am sadly alone in all scientific matters. My heart is full when I think of the days when we worked so successfully together, and know that this cannot be in the same degree our lot again. But we can help each other still, and will do so with unforgetting affection.
