been, now don't imagine that
because I am married I will
not care to hear from you.
I wd be as glad to hear
from you now as ever &
will most certainly hope and
expect letters as formerly. I
know of no family outside
of my connections that has always
possessed my entire admiration
& best wishes & will ever be
very glad to hear of its welfare.
The mats you sent have been
very greatly admired by every
one, we are using them now
& every one who comes in to
tea has some thing to say
about them. Our crops have
suffered very greatly from
draught this year, & I don't
think we can possibly make
more than a half crop.
