My Dear Friend
It is a very long
time since I have had the pleasure
of seeing you— Indeed it seems an
age to me— I have been too ill
to leave the house for more than
three weeks— and the past week
was confined to my bed— I am
still quite feeble but hope that
I shall be able to call on you
before you leave for the South—
It is more than two weeks
since my Sister
She called to bid you good bye
but could not get in—
If you can- do call and see me

I want to see you more than
words can express— How is dear
little Fanny
had been ill of the Scarlet Fever—
I hope that she is better.
James
in the Ship Helena on the 10th—
I need not tell you that this
circumstance causes me many
moments of sadness.
Excuse this hastily written
Note and believe me
Yours very sincerely
