Thank William in your prettiest way
for me dearest for the loan of his horses - I could not have
gratified the young people otherwise - And I am so rejoiced
to see the dress [it does look some thing like your babies better
I thank you for your offer of eggs & cream which I avail
myself of - as I know there will be a scarcity of the latter
and there may be of the former. I will have to beg about
two dozen more oranges as I have not been able to keep
those you gave me from the children big & little
If you have nutmeg I will be glad of one or two
I will have to borrow crockery & your candlesticks
but that will do on Monday. Kiss the dear babies
and love to William

Your Mother
