My dear Cousin
Since I saw thee this morning I have been thinking that two or three sheep would be better than the others that I
mentioned to thee; and if the small sum that I gave thee were invested in sheep & given to Maria from me, I would
prefer it, provided that you think best. If I find a good opportunity I intend to send you a couple of nice pigs that
will do credit to the neighborhood. I hope it will be convienient for Maria to pay us a visit before a great while.
We got along very well so far and just going ... for the [Niagara] falls. Rebecca unites with me in best wishes
for you all

Thy aff. cousin
Abrm Bell
