Dear Ann,
Being from home the other day, I cou’d not send your dress which has at length arriv’d from the great and polish’d City the musick too I have receiv’d, both of which you will receive possession. [Jess Sxxx] has sent to ask after your health. We hope you are better and further hope to see you according to appointment next week. Come early in the week and let me know what day as I promis’d E. Snead to send her word that she may be here.
I am much obliged to you for sending the trunk. I wanted a dress out of it to fur below the tail. A plain India muslin of your’s is here, I can’t tell by what means it came. Certain I am I did not bring it, however you shall get it with the other articles.
The enclosed is a song which I promis’d Miss Taylor and which I will thank you to have sent over in the Ferry-Boat.
Tell Mrs. Lyon the earrings which I sent for were not finish’d when uncle came from P[hiladelphi]a, but Mrs. Fullerton will send them by the very first opportunity. Show her the lady’s letter which I have sent for your perusal also.
Mrs. Upshur and co. sends her love to you and your’s.
Farewell, don’t forget to come soon. I’ve ten thousand things to talk about and aunt has too.
Your’s most affectionately,
