Robert Treat Paine Papers, Volume 2
The roads are so very foul I hear there's no possibility of removing my delicate Carcase to Town Yet awhile, this is some small disappointment to me, for I had determin'd to repair my Rigging before I Set out on any Voyage; however Since You invite me I'll Venture to Taunton, my Cargo of hopes will be trifling and I Shall suffer no great if their Shipwreck'd therefore in answer to your "Will you go?" I reply Yes.
I design to spend next week assisting miss Sally1 to prepare for Wedding and Shall be ready to Grace your arrival. I inclose a Ticket which if you will purchase again You'll oblige an accquaintance of mine Who must be nameless. I have got the money for it but Cant Conveniently Send it So you may Charge 3 Dollars to me.
My Compliments attend all our freinds. I have no news to Write and being Sensible of my incapacity to add to Your Pleasing or Usefull Ideas I'll make up for this defficiency by leaving you to your own Sparkling82Imagination and Subscribe myself your honest Joan old fashion'd frd. & Loving Sistr:,
Sarah Dyar.
