Eyre Hall. June 27th 1834.
My dear husband
After your’s of the 20th by Doctor Smith, I received that of the 15th Inst. from Washington pr mail. That of the 20th Inst. I replied to and addressed you “at Baltimore” and sent my letter by the mail of the 22d. My reply to your's of the 15th I sent over to Norfolk to be mailed there by Mr Robert Taylor, addressing it to you in Washington: (by the packet of last Tuesday 24th Inst.) according to your intimation. I trust that you have received both of these letters, and I think there is a probability of one, at least, having come to hand: If you remained in Baltimore longer than the 22d you must have received that addressed to that place, or if you had then returned to Washington you will have received that one I sent over to be mailed in Norfolk. The last of these letters was, pretty nearly, a repetition of the first. I write now, taking advantage of Mr. Taylor’s going to Norfolk, who will mail this in that post office.
I said, in each of my latest letters above mentioned, that we should leave here for Norfolk, so as for Elizabeth and myself to be in Baltimore on some day from the 15th to the 20th of next month (July). It is not in my power to say what exact day, but I wish you to be on the lookout for us on the arrival of the Norfolk Steam Boats from the 15th to our arrival. Mr Eyre will not go by Baltimore, so that we shall be dependent on some gentleman, who may be going there, to take charge of us, and we should be at a loss if we did not meet you on our arrival immediately. My kind brother will furnish the pecuniary means to
