23d June. Eyre Hall
My dear husband
Your three letters accompanying the new musick and etc., I receiv’d in course, and had intended to answer them at large, but conclud’d I shou’d soon see you, which will render nothing more necessary to be said than the acknowledgment of their receipt.
I have concluded, as my family must want my presence, to set out homeward tomorrow morning. Indeed I know they are at a stand by this time, and I want to attend to some matters for the arrangement of which it is necessary for me to be at home.
As to your kindness in still proposing the summer expedition, I think if I am not more unwell, it will be unnecessary – or in case any little indisposition of a slight nature shou’d occupy. I am endeavoring to prevail on Mr. and Mrs. Eyre to come up in August to take a jaunt to B. Creek where we can notify our friends to meet us, thereby avoiding much expense. I am unwilling to put your horse to so great a trial as a longer summer expedition w’d subject it to.
I shall write you at large by the next mail.
I suppose you may not have heard of the death of Mr. Thomas L. Savage who died of an apoplectic affection last Sunday. This event has affected us all accordingly.
Mr. and Mr. Eyre and Mrs. Upshur send you their best wishes, and Mrs. E hurries me to conclude.
God bless you
E.U. Teackle
