1 / 1Maple Grove 6th mo. 19th 1840 --
I have been nursing Frank most of the morning or I might
have written to you -- not that he is very sick but he has been taking oil
and thinks he must lay on mother's lap -- How are you? not a word or
a line since we left -- perhaps you can write by J. as he stays overnight
we have just finish'd a long letter to Joseph if he has not yet answered
yours I hope this will bring us some intelligence.
We are as comfortable here as this cold weather will allow us to be the country is delightful I know not when I have enjoyed more than during our late excursion to Haddington they have a very snug place there we found Sidney busy in her garden -- we call'd to see cousin Anne Rhoades but was gone to her mother's -- The children interefere so much with my writing that I shall have to give it up -- Joe is impatient for the pen to try his skill and Frank wants to be nursed --
Please remember me to cousin Anna and Debby. If it would not be too much trouble for one of you to call at Gilroys in the course of a week or two I would be much obliged -- she sent me my new corsets but retained a thin pair and a pair of old ones that I sent for a pattern and should be glad to have as soon as the weather is warm -- I have settled for them please ask for the pair she was to alter and the old ones -- if they are not ready you can direct them sent to your house and J can get them.
Did you read the description of our boys in the Friend of the 6th inst. Aunt Betsy thought her favorite well described but I was struck with the resemblance to Frank in the second it seems as if he might have set for the likeness -- I have scrawled this for I expected to make lighters of it -- in haste
