Dear Papa
We received your letter / on Tuesday but not time enough / to Answer it by that days mail and / as the General went up on Wednesday / We thought you had got throug / your business and would be home / before a letter could reach you / but as we have been disapointed here / of seeing you I new set down to write / you a few lines Mama says she has / heard nothing from Dr [Cooke] respecting / what you wrote her about / Mama and Catharone have colds the / rest of the family are all very well / The scarlet fever is quite prevalent / in the neighbourhood I had a letter
[END OF PAGE 1]
From Sarah this morning she informed / me of the death of Mr Bleeker he died / in a fit and his grandchild who died / with the scarlet fever Mr [Westerlo?] had / also lost his youngest daughter with / it she died on Monday she was sick / but four days I have not time to say / more in haste
Your affectionate Daughter
Joanna
