Ask Moses to send me the Gloucester

there were lost if you know and who if

any that were in them that I know.

   Did Mary Pearson say she wished me

to write to her, tell me in your next.

The weather is pleasant about one day

out of three and rainy the rest of the

time; but it dont trouble me as [I] My
