I hope you will excuse this coarse sheet of paper. I had none and was obliged to get this from one of the teachers. This was the best she had, and therefore I was obliged to make it do, as I was desirous to write to you to day. Hoping that I may soon have the pleasure of seeing you and other members of the family, and with many wishes for your prosperity, happiness and I will subscribe myself

                                                                Your friend and cousin

[right-hand side] P.S. I have been trying to beg an envelope of one of the teachers, but they have none, so I shall have to send this without one. I am ashamed to send a letter in this way, but cannot avail it this time. I forgot to bring paper and envelope with me this morning. Hope you will excuse all imperfections in and about this letter. Love to all. Good bye.
