It is my turn to write to you dear sister, & so I mean to do though I have little to say now, ever, that can make it desirable to receive my letters; complaints that I indulge too much in, & details of distressing or disagreable things are the beginning middle & end of them. I cannot...
I wrote to Cornelia out of turn dear Jane because it was a letter of business in which she was so much more concerned that you could possibly be, that not to treat You as Mary did Ellen, and merely make you the Organ of a business in transactions in which you have not concern but through your...
I received your last letter some time ago my dearest sister, but as my turn to write to Boston comes only once in three weeks and I make it a rule to address every other letter to mama whether I am in her debt or not, I could not sooner thank you for it. indeed it appears to me of very little...

Yours of March 26. gave me great pleasure:—I mean the hearing from you gave me pleasure, for you give me rather a discouraging picture of your own health and spirits.
