that you were not well. I am suffering for want of exercise, since we have had so much rain & mud. The roads are in an awful condition. I was disappointed that Mr and Mrs Burwell did not come up. I even had the bed made up & was all ready for them. If you think of it, tell Mrs Burwell how much I was pleased with her pickles, she sent me a jar by Mrs Leland they are delicious. I wrote to Mrs B. a note about coming up & did not mention them, for I wrote in a hurry & had not then tasted the peaches. I am expecting Singleton home next Saturday. The children are looking for him with great interest, even Johnie asks about Sing. Johnie is the fattest thing you ever saw. Willie says he looks like Joe Holden. Do you hear any news from Raleigh these days? How is Mary Dewey’s health? Give my love to her, & tell her we will be glad at any time to see her up here. Agnes talks a great deal about Mary & Bessie. Your Father sends love to you & Mr Dewey. Minna will be coming home next Tuesday please have a bundle & a letter for her & be sure & send the price of things. I have just finished making my dress. It looks very well. I never thanked you for the clothes you sent up. It was a nice parcel but some things were too good to cut up. I am going to give to William & Willie is going to take one pair of pants. I reckon you wont object.
