My Dear Cousin
An opportunity offering this morng
I thought it woud not be disagreeable to you
to hear of our safe arrival on Saturday eveng
about ½ past 5 oClock after a very pleasant
ride, soon after we parted with Uncle P we
found the roads quite well, till within one mile
of Manr & then the dust rose as usual for there
had no rain fallen there. We found two letters frm
my sister wherein she mentions that Reb is
now at Aunt Ps to spend a week & was waiting
anxiously for yours to say when she is to return
Miss Spear & Miss B are in wood street,
but I suppose by this time you had a letr
from London & of course particulars so I need
not enlarge. You will receive this by Mr Kenedy
Mr Bonner the latter preaches today at 2 oClock
[new page]
at Mr Simpsons old Chapel, If it was possible
you woud be pleas’d to hear him, if I thought
Uncle P woud go, coud wish him to know, I have
Not a doubt but he woud be well entertained
I could wish you to say my Mamma coud
like him to go. I have only time to write my
best respects
& remain
Your truly affectionate
