Long before this my dear sister & Brother [a]re safe & happy in Boston. I sigh for a [l]etter to tell me so. Yours from N. Haven I [a]nswered a few days ago -- since then I received <obscured> inclose'd letter. I am quite uneasy for our Beloved Mother who is now quite sick by her attendance on poor little Dolley whose eyes are in great danger--lovely blossom! Heaven send she may recover. Mama is now at the Sulpher Springs with her & I have sent her a remittance to keep them both there until they both recover. They are (Mama & Lucy) verry anxious to meet me in Orange, & I expect will do so in answer to my offer to send a Carriage for them now. They say they cant come directly. G. W. is verry unwell--talks of a visit to the West Indias for his symtom[s] of consuption. ers.
