I thank you my dear Mary
Ann for so often thinking of me it
will always give me pleasure to be
favored with your letters I could
not think of omitting so good
an Opportunity as {^that} of writing by
your Cousins they are in great
Spirits with the thoughts of their
Journey & having the pleasure
of enjoying their Brother & your
Company so soon, I hope they will
find you all well & then I doubt not
but you will enjoy your time very
happily together, I shall have a
great loss of your Cousins Company
as I never like to see the House
without them I should be very
glad to see you; if your Father &
