My Dear Mother
I received your letter of the 2d / on fryday and was very happy to hear that / were well and was so much pleased / with your jaunt, I have wrote to Papa and / Eliza also and directed our letters to Syracuse / I think though by the time this would reach / there you will have left so I will direct / it to Albany, —-------- Tell Catharine I think / she has treated us shamefully not wrote / us a single like since she left home.
Mifs Watkinson and [Wells] spent the day / here yesterday we went down in the boat / with them in the evening and had a very pleasant time we went up to the / Seminary and saw Ann she was very well / Mr Sprague has been here to day he came /
[END OF PAGE1]
Up in the Albany boat last evening to Peekskill / and got here this morning before we were up / he went down again with the Sing Sing boat / this afternoon and Mrs Sprague also. She is / coming up again on tuesday. ___
Pierre fell and hurt his arm the other day / but it has now got pretty well again the rest / of us are all very well. ____
Eliza Cortlandt and the little boys join me / in love to you all and hope to see you very soon / the time begins to appear very long since you / left us. ___ give my love to Aunt and tell / her she must certainly come down with you the / country here looks very pleasant and we should / be delighted to see her. ____
The strawberrys here are very backward we have / had them but once from the Garden and I do not / think there appears to be a prospect of a great / many, the Raspberry’s though look very well and / I think we shall have a great abundance of them / Cortlandt says the corn and potatoes have been / attended to. Good bye
Your affectionate Daughter
