My dear husband

I received two letters from you by this mail, one from Cam^e, the other dated 25^th Balt and am concerned to observe that you have not yet recover’d your usual excellent health, altho’ if one might judge from your letters, which are written in a lively strain, your spirits have undergone no diminution; of this I am glad, as good, cheerful spirits are all in all to us under such circumstances.

So you arriv’d after all not in time for the society! I was afraid you w’d not before you set out.

I wrote you yesterday and having but little to add, and being unwell, you will excuse a note

which ought perhaps to have been a letter.

Louisa, no doubt, is as anxious to have the gallant major’s respects paid to her as he is to pay them. She left me yesterday morning under the suffering of a swollen countenance arising from a tooth ache. Poor thing! She is low spirited at the prospect of leaving Somerset this week. I believe she goes on Thursday.

I have nothing to tell you of Mr. and Mrs. Eyre beside what I said in my letter of yesterday.

I shall let you know when she comes.

Elizabeth gives her love to her father, and begs him to bring her two hanks of scarlet worsted.

God bless you!
E.U. Teackle

I wish you would send me the cotton for my sheets by Mr. Done. I can now have them wove in time to bleach them this season.
