My Dear Child
whilst here you evidently derived / Comfort from the medicine administered / by Mr. Stringer, and he as well as myself / believe that a continuance of It will / bring [torn but legible] a perfect restoration of your / health [troubles? This [in possesion?], how can / I be otherwise than anxious for your / return to me,_ I must therefore intreat / you to protract your stay the least [imposition?]
Your sister Margret has been exceedingly / Ill, but is better and I believe out of danger / - your Mama & sisters unite in [love] to / you to Sally and the Children, God bless you / my Dear Child, ever affect’ly yours
