all well at present thanks be to god for that blessing hoping these few lines will find
you all enjoying the same blessing. it gave us great pleasure to here of your being well;
a couple of susan's brothers was in that contry this fall Mr Cockerill told
them you was all well I thought Anne was taken with the plague the morning I was at your
