(seq. 43)

[handscribed copy of previous pages]

some time past, the country air has
given me a little colour & I dare
say in a little while I shall be quite
restor'd to my former good health.
My dear Grandmama & Aunts joins
me in most Affectionate love &
best wishes for your health &
happiness, is the fervent prayer of
your friend
