Dear Uncle & Cousins. How pleased we are to receive your carte de visites by the hand of Rev. Mr. Thomas. We might almost fancy you were indeed in our midst. We do not know how to thank you enough for them. I wish we could make you some return, but we have none prepered to send just now except brother Eddie's and mine, and perhaps you would rather have some a little different from cousin Lizzie's as you can see those whenever you go to Denbigh. I wish very much that father and mother would be induced to accept your very kind invitation & visit you. I think it would refresh them much. but it seems to them a very great undertaking, and there are always obstacles [[unclear]] in the way of their leaving home to oppose any ordinary inducements. Mr. Griffiths Gahedydd Banner was done last Sabbath and portrayed the transit over the ocean in very pleasing colors, and said all the difficulties of the journey would end with their arrival at New York City. but I am afraid it would take a good many letters and more calculation than they have time to get them started. Why cannot you come out here, dear Uncle, we would be Oh! so glad to see you, and perhaps if you came safely out, father and mother might return with you, though I think that doubtful they are both so often ill, mother especially is often sick. Uncle Henry's health tho is now much improved. I was at his house soon after we received your letter and he was then quite sick but he is nearly as well as usual, I think now & his hair is very grey. We send you a lock of father's and mother's hair that you may see how much it has whitened. | Dear Uncle & Cousins. How pleased we are to receive your carte de visites by the hand of Rev. Mr. Thomas.

main text, in pencil: Dear Uncle & Cousins. How pleased we are to receive your carte de visites by the hand of Rev. Mr. Thomas. We might almost fancy you were indeed in our midst. We do not know how to thank you enough for them. I wish we could make you some return, but we have none prepered to send just now except brother Eddie's and mine, and perhaps you would rather have some a little different from cousin Lizzie's as you can see those whenever you go to Denbigh. I wish very much that father and mother would be induced to accept your very kind invitation & visit you. I think it would refresh them much. but it seems to them a very great undertaking, and there are always obstacles unclear in the way of their leaving home to oppose any ordinary inducements. Mr. Griffiths Gahedydd Banner was done last Sabbath and portrayed the transit over the ocean in very pleasing colors, and said all the difficulties of the journey would end with their arrival at New York City. but I am afraid it would take a good many letters and more calculation than they have time to get them started. Why cannot you come out here, dear Uncle, we would be Oh! so glad to see you, and perhaps if you came safely out, father and mother might return with you, though I think that doubtful they are both so often ill, mother especially is often sick. Uncle Henry's health tho is now much improved. I was at his house soon after we received your letter and he was then quite sick but he is nearly as well as usual, I think now & his hair is very grey. We send you a lock of father's and mother's hair that you may see how much it has whitened.
