I presume you have had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Copp 'ere this. I hope their visit will be a pleasant one, and that they will enjoy themselves among relations and friends at Cincinnati. Say to Cousin Jane that I have not forgotten her. I would purchase the boots she requested me to, but think in all probability she will be here before spring & can make choice for herself.
I hope Mother has accomplished her object relative to removing the Negroes out of the House on the Alley and is more at rest both in body and mind, than when I left home. I hope she may enjoy good unclear usual. Take care of all those who unclear near and dear to me. Kiss Ann Maria for me and say to her that Father will come home to see her by an by -- if she inquires after Uncle Dutee, tell her, that he is on the boat with me. I suppose Aunty has returned home before now.
Give my best compliments to all the family and please accept a Husband's best love for yourself and our darling, with lots of Kisses.
From your Sincere and Affectionate Husband
C. Gardner Pearce
