Robert Treat Paine Papers, Volume 1
I take it not a little in grudging that you dont write to me every Oppertunity for you omitted the last. If you pretend to say that I dont write to you every Oppertunity that can be no reason for you, because when I sett down to write home I've 3 or 4 Letters to write whereas you have but one. However I'll write to you tho I write but small to let you see my regards to you are constant & should be glad of the like token from you. Write me perticulary concerning the state of yr. affairs; for you may depend upon it I want to know all that is to be known. My Freind Samll.1 is well & wishes yr. prosperity. My service & respect to all Freinds &c.
Dear Sister I write uncertain of the circumstances of the Family. Do you endeavor to let me know them. My Love to Our Brother &c. If there by Any News of Any Sort let me know it whether relating to the Death, Marriage, or change of affairs of yr. Frends or myne or the People in Genrall. I remain yr. loving Brother good Freind well wisher &c &c. &c.
