presant hoping these may find you all enjoying 
the same blessing we rec'd your letter dated March 
the 2nd which gave us particular satisfaction to hear 
that joseph got safe home and found the family 
well our situation at preasatnt is somewhat 
maloncholy on account of my daughter Nancy 
McClelands Death who after a long tedious bed 
Of verry sore affliction is gon the way of all living 
which has bean the cause of a good deal of trouble 
in the family! But we must try to gave her up 
to him that made her with as little reluctance 
as humane nature will admit of we had a long 
tedious journey occationed by the inclemency of 
the weather  But we have reason to be thankfull 
we all had our heal [torn and illegible] met with no accident
