My Dear Uncle
I have received your letter of the 8th inst and be assured that / it is not out of neglect that I have not written to you before for I have been so / engaged in drawing Aunt says she thinks that you will be pleased with / with my performances when you see them.
In your last letter to me you said that you had been confined to your room / with a cold but was better I hope by this time you have quite recovered / and hope we shal soon have the pleasure of seeing you here.
I was very much pleased to here that the children was so much improved / I have received a letter from Mama give my love to her and tell her I will answer her better soon
We are both well and write in love to you all.
I remain your affectionate niece
