Roxborough 8st Mo 24st 1843.
4th day eve
Dear Sisters,
I presume you started as you expected at 7 o'clock this morning and if I may judge by the coolness of the atmosphere here at that hour, I should think that you needed your blanket shawls on the river, and now perhaps you have them on again pacing the deck of the steamer on the Sound.
But I write now more particularly at Father's request. He wished me to record the uncommon softness and mellow tints of the sky. For the Sun after a cloudy day is setting perfectly clear & the evening is certainly one of the pleasantest we have had this season. Though probably more so to him, having just returned from his business in the city. We miss your company very much, but I have no doubt but that you will enjoy yourselves exceedingly and return refreshed as you expect in body and mind.
I wil now close for this evening and making a short addition tomorrow I will leave the remainder of the sheet to Mary.

Roxborough 8st Mo 24st 1843 . 4th day eve Dear Sisters , I presume you started as you expected at 7 o'clock this morning and if I may judge by the coolness of the atmosphere here at that hour, I should think that you needed your blanket shawls on the river, and now perhaps you have them on again pacing the deck of the steamer on the Sound . But I write now more particularly at Father's request. He wished me to record the uncommon softness and mellow tints of the sky. For the Sun after a cloudy day is setting perfectly clear & the evening is certainly one of the pleasantest we have had this season. Though probably more so to him, having just returned from his business in the city. We miss your company very much, but I have no doubt but that you will enjoy yourselves exceedingly and return refreshed as you expect in body and mind . I wil now close for this evening and making a short addition tomorrow I will leave the remainder of the sheet to Mary. |
