| Transcript | Wilksbarre, 12th Jany 1821 Dear Ann, You are downright naughty you dont write to me, not even a little postscript in Uncle Joes letter. I have nevertheless intended for a long time to write to you, and now as I have lately returned from Philadelphia, where I saw some of your friends, I feel as if I had a subject that would interest you. I was at your Uncle Mortons once or twice and spent a most delightful evening there in the company of your Uncle and Aunt and Mary Greeves. They spoke much and affectionately of you. I was delighted with Mrs Morton: she is one of the most charming intelligent women I have ever met with. I am glad you are so happy and contented with your present situation. I feared you would be dissatisfied and regret more than ever your absence from your native country. You will at least write me a letter just to tell me something about William and the children. Dear little Maria, she must be delighted with het little brother, and by this time [he] must begin to take much notice of her, and both together must be much comfort to their parents. I should be glad once more to see you all but whether I shall remains doubtful, unless you should sometime revisit this place, which I hope you will do, and I shall always receive you with much pleasure. My best love to William & to all your relatives in your place. I shall write to Phoebe next week in answer to her letter, which I received last week. I am glad to hear Mr & Mrs Simon enjoy so much better health than when they left this place; excuse the haste in which I have written, for I have scarcely a moments time even for this. S.H. Cist |
