Last night when upon reaching home, I found cousin Ann and Sarah. They have come for the purpose of finding some employment in the city. I fear that they will not meet with very good success. They brought with them a letter from cousin Leonora, which afforded me much pleasure- she spoke of her visit to Warwick, and of the pleasant time she passed with her friends there. She said she wish to have me accompany her the next time she went. I should be very happy to do so, and may perhaps give myself that pleasure. I began to speak of my visit, but find that other subjects have taken the place of that one. I had a very pleasant time at uncle Stewart's as I always do, when there. After being there a week I went to N.C. to visit Aunt Esther, found a little daughter there, who arrived on the seventh day of August last. From N.C. I proceeded to Clinton. Enjoyed my visit there very much, found Lottie the same as of old although she was assumed the titles of wife and mother. I presume Leonora told you that Lottie had a babe. He is truly a beautiful looking child. He was born the 10th of last June. And we have also another member added to our family. You have probably been informed of it, therefore it will be no news to you. He is the very best baby I ever saw, and we all love him very dearly. They are constantly cautioning me against kissing and squeezing him
