Dear Uncle, and Aunt,

Father reminds me that I may

fill this vacancy – tho’ but to repeat to you that

you are oft times the subject of our thoughts – ever

accompanied with keen regrets, that a separating

distance has thus risen up between us; that in the short

journey of life, aught should occur to deprive us of one of

its warmest pleasures; that of social enjoyment

Our friends are all well in these parts as far as we know. or -?

Cousin Catharine visited us recently, – seems comfortable.

We are informed of the dangerous illness of uncle Henry Post –

[Text sideways in left margin]

who is now pro[obliterated] numbered among the departed –

his complaint an affection of the stomach – been sick

about 2 weeks. do write oftener.

I remain

affec^tly

Matilda R.
