| Notes | Text is excerpted from an 1851 letter of Emily Dickinson to her brother, Austin, describing an evening in the Dickinson home during a storm. She describes her father's assessment of the damp and cold, and humorously describes her sister Vinnie's singing while playing "at the instrument" (piano) and ending by saying that if Vinnie doesn't stop singing, she will cry."
