My Dear Daughter

I have just received your kind letter I wrote a little to you in the same with a bit of a letter to Eliab about the 14th or 15th which perhaps you have not received-I thank you very much for your letters and for your invitation to visit &c--------I really want to see you in your fine house am glad you like it so well. I hope your health will be good and you will have nothing to hinder your enjoying much happiness therein. You ask when I will visit you I think I had better not yet a while you will probably for considerable time nowadays, had a good deal of company and we shall both enjoy it getter if I wait till midwinter or so or certainly till after Isaac comes home-I have had letters from him since this month came in (he a good boy isn't he) I think he will when Joseph gets ready to come home come and wait upon him home and then I can go to Hampden when he goes along back. Almedas foot is better so that she can go about to see her neighbours on crutches & about house on them. She went twice to Grafton ((unclear)) today, their child is very sick____I almost think hard of Joseph was very disappointed 2 or 3 lost mails, he has not written to me only once since he went away. I feel very anxious about him . I want to know how long he means to stay & whether is getting better___I don't think Jane could mend that cloak he had last winter. It's too much soild and too small. I can fix her warm enough I guess unless it is very much colder Saturday than it is today-I hardly know whether to send Janes old hood. I am thinking that I can take the two and rip and colour them and make me one that ((unclear)) you know is pretty good but if you can make use of it for her I will send it.

• I expect I can sell my wool here out anyways for 27 cents a pound and shall have many enough to get a cloak. Jo don't trouble yourself any more you are good kind daughter to think so much about me when you have so much to do-I guess I can fix my Mum over well enough, think I can.
