My Dear Father
I received your letter of the / 27th from Albany this afternoon and was happy to / hear that you were all well. I wrote to / Mama last Sunday and directed it to Syracuse / which I presume must have arrived before you / if it went direct. __ I gave Cortlandt the directions / you sent him and he says they have all been / attended to the corn is up, the Scare Crows are / made, the rails have been sent to Sing Sing / and the other things have all been attended / to. __ You wished me to write in par - / ticular how we all were. Well in the first / place we are all very well. David + / [Pierre] have had vacation this week /

Mr Lewis not being in very good order for / schoolkeeping, Cortlandt has been to Sing Sing / to day I asked him if he heard of news he / said nothing except [Tunstal] the Taylor had / forged a note and ran away, Ann + Gardiner / are very well and also Eliza and myself Mrs / Sprague is here with us, but we have scarcely / been out of the house since she has been here / as we have had a cold north East storm / of three days, I do not think of any thing / more to inform you of so I will bid you good / night, with love to yourself and mama in / which all join me
Your affectionate Daughter
