     My dearest Cousin

 

                  How do you come

on; I come on slow.  Dear I reckon you

don't know what to think of me,

not writing sooner, but I have

a good excuse, I havent had time

Darcas has been sick and I had

to nurse her, and her crass sweet

little Daughter, and I am in

such a hurry now I can hardley

write,  I know you will excuse

your little Cousin, will you

not dear?  I havent a bit of

news to write, only I hear of

two or three marrieges that is

to take place before long but

I cant tell who they are, they

told me in confidence there

fore I must keep it.

 

I havent seen Uncle Andrew
