Dear Sister,
If you will this once forgive my neglecting to answer
your kind Letter I shall esteem it no small obligation,
Your Mother told me you was to stay at Riverton
till Mrs {?Man} recovers her lying in, but I have not
heard of her being brought to Bed. If I
enquire after your health I cannot in conscience
ask you to answer my inquiries by Letter, therefore
what am I to do in this case. Why, I think it
will be best to submit in a modest manner to
your determination be is for, or against me.
I will trouble you with my Compts to
Mrs {?Man}; who I wish may do well in her
approaching Confinement, I am sure of this,
she will have a good Nurse in your, for I
don’t know a better. So careful am
I of my favourite Apron that I have never
wore it since it has been mine, perhaps I intend
to keep it safe and sound till I am married,
I again thank you for it, but I think it
was really a sin and shame to take it of you.
Adieu for this time
I am your affectionate sister
EH
