My dear sister
I hereby advise you of the safe arrival of your wig, which is the most elegant one I ever saw. I don’t know but the price may be an objection with you, 26 Doll[a]r[s]. Mr. Teackle says that he hesitated some time whether to get it. You order’d a wig if fashionable and this being a superior one demanded a superior price.
The cotton was not to be procured in Phila. The Copy of the Complete Housewife1 Mr. T. has obtained, these articles will be forwarded by the first convenient opportunity, with the bill for picture framing, which has caused you so much uneasiness.
Since you were here I have had an ague and a half, arising I think, from my breasts having been overcharged with milk. I am now so, so, as well as I ever expect to be whilst I suckle my baby. I think it weakens me greatly. Mr. T. is somewhat better than when he left me. His countenance is not quite so pale as it was. Elizabeth grows big and proportionately pretty and sweet
