What a painful Winter this has been to you; It was too much, to be tortur’d with the tooth-Ach, in addition to the Measles, however, I consider you were fortunate in the Children not being ill at the same time with you, or and Dolly; I feel very grateful to old Cilla, for her kind attention to...

I am very sure that the eruption that had broken out on you was certainly the Measles. And I flatter myself that you have got through it very favorably. It was in that way they commenced with my Margaret, and she had them more favorably than any of the girls. I think too that your confiniment...

You anticipated right, Polly did exclaim not a little when she arose, and saw your bonnets on the Table, your diapers in the Cradle, and your Bank notes on the floor. And your Mother did groan when she heard it. I fear my dear all your Economy will avail very little, whilst you retain this...

We arrived here last night evening about sun-set, we found the roads, ruff, and bad, as long as were in Albemarle, but afterwards, they were the greater part of the way very fine, we got to Mrs Tinsleys, by four Oclock, not in the least fatigued, my cholick soon evaparated, but poor Sall, had not...

your letter, which I received last Monday; Made me quite happy, I had been in terror, least the disturbance which I knew you would receive from our dear little Patt, would be more than you could bare, I am surpris’d that you should whip her, I think I informed you that whipping, always put her in...

You looked with great anxiety, and some little vexation, I presume, for our Carriage, on its way for CaryAnne. perhaps you may ere this have heard the reason why it did not go. If not; the enclos’d will give it you. It was a sad disappointment to us all, altho, she was certainly very right, the...

I have this moment received your letter from kent, who had been on the look out for Col Randolph’s boat, as I had a box of plumbs, and oranges, and five tongues packed up to send by it. which I hope you may receive in good time. there are two dozen of oranges, you hear from us so regularly, that...

I know it to be so delightful to hear from our friends that altho I wrote to you the day before yesterday, I cannot allow Phill to return without a few lines, I can give you no account of Elisabeth R. as the girls were disappointed in making her the visit they intended yesterday. they will go to...

I sent you some Sturgion (I believe three peices) by a Waterman of Coln Randolph’s, which I hope you have received safe, I expect some of the Vinagar will be lost, if so, you must fill it up again, it is a convenient dish, and I expect will keep very will in your cool cellar. As Cary Anne has...
