little with you, in the first place, Frances how came thee
Poisond I hope it is not bad, I wish the would be more
Carefull & not go where the poisen vines are I was much
pleasd with thy letter, and hope it wont be the last, and
now my dear Henry I address myself to the, I was grattyfy’d
with thy kind rememberance of me in thy Las[s]t letter, with
Desires to see me, be assur’d you can’t Desire more to se me

present, I thank thee for the Picture the sent me, I wish I

very poor way your father intends writeing to you, Caroline
