' Uncle ( unclear )" called yesterday to see Mother and myself, brought a large basket of apples and invited and urged that we should visit there, said we must excuse Sarahs not calling, because she has many cares, time taken up by painting & he is truly very kind and we have concluded to send them a formal invitation to visit us in a day or two and so avoid the necessity of going there, and discharge all obligations. The painter came yesterday and took the outline for mother is coming again tomorrow. I think you are very (unclear ) in your Daguerreotype; I am much obliged for mine I think it good. I am delighted with Lucys handsome one it is very fine and a beautiful present. My pen is so horrible bad that I fear you can hardly read this.

 My kind regards to your friends and best wishes and much love to yourself and my dear brother Isaac
