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 etc--------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 better 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 ((French?)) 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)) silk 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 at Cushing for 27 cents a pound and shall have money enough to get a cloak. So don't trouble yourself any thing unclear about it at present. You will have enough to do about these days- too much I’m afraid - you are good kind daughter to think so much about me when you have so much to do-I guess I can fix my muff over well enough, don’t you think I can.
