I have the pleasure to inform you that I had a pleasant journey and arrived safe here on Tuesday after I left you. I found Mrs Pain a very amaible agreeable Lady and Mr P was politely attentive.1 the accounts that we received on the road were so favourable respecting the decline of the fever that I did not feel any apprehensions of coming into the City— I had the pleasure to find Colln Smith and my Daughter in perfect health.

I have so frequently my Dear Madam experienced your kindness and Hospitalyty—that I feel myself largely in your debt upon the score of friendship and I fear the only return that it will be in my power to make is the acknowledgement of the obligations I feel—which are I assure you strongly impressed upon my mind

Caroline desires me to present her Love to Miss Hannah and to thank her for the Elegant little Basketts—and requests her acceptance of a Lockett with a Lock of her Hair, in it

be so good as to remember me to Mr Smith Cousin Betsy and your Children and believe me Dear Madam your / obliged friend
