In this letter, Huck tells Little Em'ly that he is writing to him for the very first time and for the last time. He thinks back on the events of the previous day. He says that he brought sunshine into his life when his family was destroyed and that he redeemed himself when he was taken in by his grandparents. Huck says that, later, he made enemies with the Ling family and became bitter enemies with each other. He adds that, in fact, he is selfish and feels a little uncomfortable when he sees the family looking so sweet
