mischievous little imp you ever saw. Rachel is pretty and agreeable, Mary is slender and small, no great talker, but has a great deel of good sense, kindness and good temper, always cheerful and happy. I like her very much. Now as I think you must be heartily tired of my scribble for more than one reason, for cause if you are very keen sighted I am afraid this writing will baffle you, but as I am enclosing this letter with one to Cynthia I have to make the most of the paper. I debated some time whether to cross it or to write small, but at last gave the preference to diminutive writing. I am afraid it wont meet with your approbation though. I do hope you will write me a long letter soon. If you had any idea of the pleasure it would afford you would indulge me, Mama joins me in very dear love to Aunt Mary Anne, Clark and yourself. I am thinking this letter will be quite old by the time it reaches you. I often wonder what you are doing at different times in the day. I am now sitting in my bedroom with a comfortable fire and a lamp on the table, writing to my dear far off cousin, and looking at the time piece warns me it is late and time to give up. Once more with much dear love Your affectionate cousin Lizzie Williams
