My health remains good, and fondly desire, that this will reach you by due course of conveyance, and find you our little ones, and the balance of our family, all participating the same inestimable blessing. -- The Stmr. "Champion" has been laid up here for some time, I understand from the Mate. that he is looking for Capt.'s Stevenson, or unclear by the first Boat down. __ I feel very anxious to see you, and our little pets and hope soon to be gratified. Say to our little daughters, that Father has not forgotten them, and will soon come home,
Since I last wrote you Sabbath has intervened, which I spent quietly and devotedly, reading my Bible, and attending Church, and in my meditations came to no other conclusion, than how happy are the Souls, who can with Sincerity and meekness call God our Father, and Heaven our Home. Where we are assured of ever verdant Spring without Winter, Day without Night, and Peace without Sorrow, to ceaseless ages Eternal. -- Remember me to all the family, and please accept my best love for yourself and our little pets, with lots of kisses. -- Your Sincere and Affectionate Husband
