stop writing, nothing affords me more pleasure than receiving & answering letters particular my relations. When I say relations of course Willies friends and relations are mine Hopeing you consider me a member of the family & think of me as I do you, although one here never quiet — If you could know me persoly I think you would not hesitate to answer my letters
While from _ this summer my health improve
a great deal since my return. I have been having third day chills & indeed made me quite sick

Ma has not visiteed me since she came home. she writes that she will come next week & spend some time with us. I am happy to know that Ma has made a visit — you all. she seemed so anxious to visit the old homestead & relations once again — that I was delighted to hear that she & Willie had gone chrildren can never no never pay theire parents for the care & trouble they have for & with them particular my mother, Willie is an exception & I love him the more for his kindness to Ma.
