My dear sister

I forwarded two letters from Brother John
to you, his daughter Elizabeth was the bearer of them
she arrived in Liverpool on the 15th of last month
in thirty one days from Charleston accompanied
by her uncle, and aunt, Bones, and her
cousin Miss Longstreet, Mr & Mrs Bones
have left this (sic) for the, for the County Antrim, on a
visit to their relations, and the two young
ladies remain with me, where I desire to
shew [show?] them what is worthy of their notice, here,
if the weather would permit, but I regret
to say, we have had constant rain since
their arrival, Brother John who possesses all
that affectionate regard for his relations,
so creditable to our family, wishes, as he
has expressed to you, in his letters, that
Elizabeth should visit your family, I shall
therefore accompany her, Miss Longstreet, and
one, or two of my daughters, on a visit to you,
of which I shall give you due notice, as
as (sic) soon as the weather will permit and
the time of their departure arrive,
Elizabeth is about sixteen years of
age, well educated, and very intellectual
you will be greatly pleased with her__
Miss Longstreet, has evidently had equal
advantages in point of education, greater
experience, exceedingly talented, and
well informed; I had a letter by Elizabeth
from our niece, our late Thomas's
daughter, Mrs Clarke, who together with her
mother is anxious to gain every information
respecting our family, Mrs Clarke, has
six children living, her eldest son
is about sixteen years of age is at business,
and I am gratified to be able to report
to you, that all our relations in Augusta
are healthy, influential, and highly
respectable __ Make my affectionate
regards acceptable to Mr Wallace, to
Fanny, and Elinor, and believe
to be, your sincerely attached Brother
Jas [James?] Moore
