Accommodation

My dearest dearest Richard,

Your letter I need not say made me happier than any thing in the world could do in your absence - Our home looked so desolate when you had left it that I was quite glad to get away. I will not tell you if I am merry or sad as I wish you to enjoy yourself as much as possible now you are gone for pleasure -

Dear Charlotte,

Your letter arrived in course and gave us a good account of your husbands health.  I dare say that he found himself refreshed by the sight of the ocean of which you have so good a view from your Residence in Burling...

Dear Charlotte,

Your letter of the 3d arrived on Sunday and afforded us much pleasure in the account you give us of Richards improvement in health - What does Rich. say to having given to me no reply to my letter, which appears to have been pleasing to him as he calls it complimentary.
