5 / 5about the heat. there is such a constant breeze on
this high hill, although there is no shade around
the house. Fanny and her children are both very
sweet, the rides delightful & we so satisfied
that I am almost making up my mind to
go no where further this summer unless it should
suit my dear kind friends John & M Whitall
to have me at the shore for a few days the later
part of the season.
This morning we have all been to our dear old Springfield meeting Sister Fanny driving us, as W was no well enough to go. And the sight of all the dear familiar faces was most refreshing taken in connection with the warm greetings from all around us. Tomorrow I go with our friends James & Sally Price to our old Monthly Meeting held at Middletown where I hope to see beside the Springfield friends, my dear friends M R Passmore from whom I had such a sweet letter a week ago & Hannah Maris &c. In the afternoon we hope to have H Rhoads & daughters to tea with us on their way home from meeting. And third day are invited to Joseph Evan's where I hope we shall go if Aunt Anna about the heat. there is such a constant breeze on

Evan's where I hope we shall go if Aunt Anna
will consent to stay out untill 4th day. she cannot
stay longer as she is to have a dress maker
the next day, and is to spend the followng week
at Caroline Yarnalls. She sends thee much love
and thanks for thy very nice letter and tells me
to say she expects to be about the city for 2 or 3
weeks yet. has had a second satisfactory letter
from Jenny who is doing nicely except from
the want of good help in the kitchen.
With regard to thy mention of the Water Gap cousin Mary, I have thought a good deal about going. I had a nice visit from S W Cope before I left the city & she told me She was going then with Katey Shipley, part of the time that her husband should be travelling in Canada with our dear friend John Hodgkin. And it was proposed as I was not well enough to go with them next Sixth day, I should join them this week. I then felt as if it would be very pleasant. But since being out here feel so little able to walk about not to speak of scrambling andwhich wishing when I am there to take
the full benefit of all that is to be done that
I now fear it would be a waste of time & money

So with the reasons given for my satisfaction in
my present location, expecting to make a visit
probably of some days at Joseph Rhoads &c, I
hardly think I shall attempt it this summer.
I do think it would be very nice for you however
as you are so near, and it is very pleasant to face
my going would be any inducement to thee.
This is not a final decision of mine as I promised to
wait untill I heard from dear S W Cope.
Lizzie N came to see me twice before I left, seems
really better I think, stronger mind & body. Was
going on Sixth day to Join M Robinson from whom
she had another letter, the place (Toby Samuel) seems
to be in great demand. I suppose Ellen came home
from Long Branch yesterday as all that nice party
had left. They are hoping to get to the Mountains
but Lizzie seems still very poorly. I should think too
much so to go safely. Dear Cousin Mary this letter
in full of me & my friends. and seems very chatty
and broken very much like I talk, but thou must
excuse it untill my brain clears a little, when I
will try to do better. Do let us hear from thee soon
again what you decide to do & with love from both
Mother & self to thee & Cousin Martha, thy attached cousin

Wallingford First day the 28
My dear Cousin MPG
Aunt Anna and I were
both very glad to get thy letters, which we did
out here on seventh day morning, finding them
on the floor under the door of our chamber
when Waldron had put them about 1/2 past one
the night before. Very nice letters indeed which
relieved us greately about you and made us
feel that you would benefit by as well as
enjoy the change of scene. You no doubt heard
that I had to come out here without my
Mother, much to my trouble, as Aunt Anna
was neither fit to bring or be left. I came
on 4th day not being out of the house before
I am much better but not well enough to
do more than walk about the house & ride.
Mother & Aunt Anna came Sixth day evening
the latter was very feeble but has much
recruited in this fine pure air. It is a
most lovely situation. we know little or nothing
