My Dear Beloveds
This will inform you that we
were favored to reach home in safety we
journey'd along pleasantly, but for several
miles after we parted with you we were
silently contemplating -- & our hearts seemd
filld with gratitude for your great kindness
that we will long retain a sense of
We Dined at Pimrays in Coventry - & Lodged
at Stanefords , next morning different from
my usual custom , we rode to Canterberry
Before breakfast , Dined at
Fishes, & reached home about dark found
all well & glad to see us --- I have written
this Morning to R Green & thy communication
will accompany it Capt Moores is here-
--I have also written to N Port - & informed them
of our pleasant visit & journey, so thou may
conclude I have not been idle & now my
dear Husband is just closing a Box for
Hartford, & will put in my letter - but
I have not time to say, half I want to
or to copy this badly written scrawl
He desires me to present his Love affectionate
-ly to you, my endeared friend - & please to
accept a portion from me - & please to
accept a portion from me I feel it for you
& I also feel more than I am capable of expressing
oh may you be enabled to cherish & nurture
