  • Notes 
    • Dear father Dearling, brothers and sisters, we send these few lines to you, hoping you are well, and all the family. We think it very strange that you do not send us a letter: we wish to know how sister Charlotte and her family is getting along: say if you heard of Mary. How is Hannah, and her husband doing? Give our love to William and Dinah, hoping they are well, and all the family. Daniel, I hope you are well, and your family. Dear sister Jane, we give our kind love to you, I hope you are well, and dutiful to your father: tell us if you are comfortable or not, for we should like to know. I cannot say any thing more to you now, but I hope you will send us a letter. PhÅ“be sends Jane Hamuan a piece of her frock for a present. So no more at present, from us, your loving son and daughter,

      JOHN & CAROLINE DEARLING.

      __________

      Dear father and mother, I wish you would send me both of your ages, for I should like to know how old you are. Remember us to Kitty, and I hope she is well: to John and Elizabeth Spooner, give our best respects to them, tell them we do not want to come to England for a home, for this place begius to look homely to us. Tell Hannah Enticknap, Thomas was up to see us, three weeks ago, he was well; and George was well; them are four miles from us.

      To Mr. THOMAS FRANCIS, Lodsworth, near Petworth, Sussex, England.
