Dear Charles

We much regreted the unfavourableness of the weather yesterday particularly on your account. My presence being required here and my dear wife considering herself benefited by the Waters, I came down in the Afternoon, making enquiries for your trunk and posting advertisements frequently along the road. No immediate prospect is as yet presented, yet my hopes are increased. It was observed loose behind the carriage as it passed Mr. Andrews the Taylor in his shop. It was afterwards seen by Col^o. Done's Jack, "a little beyond the Poor House nearly off," about half a mile further the Carriage was observed without

a Trunk behind it. Hence it must have droped off within a mile of this place and most probably Jack can give an acct. of it. He is known to be a Slippery lad. I have sent for him in order to employ him to make the discovery.

This probably may reach G.T. as soon as you. in our last letters both my dear wife and myself were silent in respect to Eliza coming down with you. We both supposed that she would not leave Henrietta under existing circumstances. We are allways happy in the society of our relations, especially those that are so near and dear to us. Let us expect you and Sarah with as many of your little ones as you can bring.

God bless you
