My dear Sister
It seems to me a long time since I wrote to you, {?but}
I have a very bad cold in my head, you will not see me
on Christmas Day, I shall hope to have the pleasure
of hearing yourself and Kitty are well, be pleased to
send me the {?pattern} of a stocking which fits Kitty
and I will knit her two pair of fine yarn,
No disturbing news I hope from a certain quarter
since I saw you.
I wish my dear sister
a good Night, for I can’t
scribble any more, tho’ I
shall venture to Chappell to Morrow I {?send} love
Staying all day at home on a Sunday it
makes me dull
