as to my work I get along as well as I can my steady family is 11 in number since I got rid of my sawmill work men I have done my work myself the only now & then a day ever since last Febuary I have kept Polly a spinn she has been gone 5 weeks this summer I thought I should make a great deal of cloth but I can not get quite 30 wait of flax illegible because of fold in page oftner you only come to see me you can see for your selves I must own I was quite disappointed when I heard there was none of you a comeing to see me this fall alltho I never had ben encouraged of your coming I thought when you heard I could not come & see you I thought some of you certainly would come to see us If we ant quite so smart as Polly or Lucy my affection towards you perhaps is as great as theirs is in a long time since I saw any of you & perhaps it will be still longer unless you see me here things look quite dark of my coming to see you verry soon I dont know but I look too much on the dark sid but I try to keep my spirits up as well as I can I hope my boot will turn some time or other but I have hoped till I all most dispair but O could I byt be recondciled to the will of god
