Lucy is staying with her sister Margaret (called Peggy). Expresses wish that his wife and infant daughter Mariana Barbara are in good health. Reports on the health of his father, her mother, and sister Barbara. Hopes she has received the gift sent by Mr. Botts for Mariana Barbara. Refers to Miss Gatliff (?), Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Browne, Mr. Snipie(?) and his family, Mr. Peachy, Judge Semple, Miss Eliza Waller all of whom are sick or recovering from sickness. Henry Rogers arrived in town and carries a letter from Betsy Kennon for Lucy. Encloses the letter. Not present here. Talks of a “turnpike” from her “mother’s door along the path past our door and across the green to Mr. Browne’s gate” made by Old Nat that has “spoilt the green.” Spent the morning making brandied peaches with Aunt Lucy and enjoyed the experience.
