7 day morning 5 oclock

Esteemed Friend:

Your letter mailed 25, I re
ceived on the 28 as a welcome messenge. [8/?] I now
[?] endeavour write a few lines in answer to it.

I sympathize with you, for your [hurt] heart
[edness], as much as you regret the tender state of my feelings.

I will company with Eunice & Caroline Barker a girl
from Troy, visited at S. titus, where they remained
all night, so I have had the pleasure of presiding
as mistress. Eunice thinks of starting for home next
3rd day, when I shall again be left for a longer
time, as head of the family. What thinks you of my
drinking tea (or water) with these niggers as you are
pleased to call them. I have this week too. I am
pleased to hear that H is teaching school but oh, she
is where she can [got?] home frequently, while I must
spend, two holidays in every week without visiting
you. I have partially unproved my 7 days by atten
ding to algebra, in which I have proceeded nearly through
simple equations. expect I shall ere long send you
some problems to perform for me. I feel a little
curiosity to hear the result of M. Wilsons party if my
Wing is only there it will answer just as wll as if I
were there after Breakfast have just presided at table
poured the Coffe did not suffer myself to partake
which required a great deal of Self Denial, for
notwithstanding it is now 4 weeks since I left it

Tell M. Wilson send me some of her cakes
and [sirvet?] meals so that I may know
how she treated her company. I suppose GP has all her [verce?] things
from [?] by this time
Please tell her to
send me
the piece of
her dress.
