My dear Sister
When will
you write me another letter this
will be the 3^rd you have rec^d from
me since you wrote me one;
I thought you do not answer
all my letters through ceremony
you should through Gratitude
You need not send the shirts be=
=fore you come. My Father I am
sorry to tell you is not better than
he was when I wrote you last
Sunday, he has not had any advice
yet, but I think he will have
if he is not better soon – The
little Wainwrights have been
visiting here to-day, they are nice
little boys, we had a little
Lottery
[crosshatched]
Love from all here your
Affec^te Sister E Nicholson

Tho^s fell out of a Tree some
days since, & hurt his leg it is
getting better now, M^rs Shepherd
gave us something to dress it with
which he likes very well as it
does not smart Miss Mili=
=cent Nicholson has been stay=
=ing at M^r S’s some days, & left
to-day, we saw a good deal of her
whilst she was here, & she was
near sleeping here one night,
& some thought that I was disappoint=
=ed & out of temper because she
did not – I am very glad to
find so short a time has to elapse
before you come home. Ja^s
breaks up the same day you do.
A Fletcher is to go to Miss L’S

School – Miss Foster will be
obliged to you to buy some [illeg]
patterns for work here with
you, if you can get any, she
desires her respects

Today froma Gen^l in Lord
Miltons interest, soliciting
him to go to York to vote for
L^d M – supposing him to be
free of that shire because of the
Little Estate in the Great
