Mt Pleasant 9 mo-10th 1821
My dear C anxiety will be very much awakened from
the Intelligence that probably reached thee on first
day but I have been gradually gaining and have just
appetite increased. I think when the Carriage comes
I shall be able to proceed to Steubenville. I have
every attention necessary- don't be concerned
about me but take all the care of thyself thou
can and worry about the business. let all go as
they may untill I may get home very affectionately
Thy Thos Rotch
I expect the Carriage to night
