her a letter occasionally, and let us know something about yourself + dear family unclear. Distance makes no difference in our relationship, + ought to make none in our feelings. We were all very much grieved to hear of dear Uncle David's death. I had heard much about him from Mama Are there no hopes of seeing any of you in Wales? How delighted we should be. Give my fondest love & dear Uncle, Aunt + Cousins & pray do send me some of your cartes. We would value them so highly. You shall have ours but not by this letter as it will be too heavy. I should be so

glad to have a letter from several of you. Excuse this scrap of paper & a short note. if you will write you shall have a longer one next time. I will now stop in case you don't wear spectacles in America to read crossed writings!! The young ladies in Wales patronize it very extensively now to the decided injury of their friend's eyesight. After Harry reads my letters & Cousin Ottie would you be kind enough to send it here your own affectionate cousin Lizzie Williams

Mama joins in warmest love to all.
