Scope and Contents Letter is dated February 22, no year. Gratification experienced upon receiving her letter was only exceeded by memories of the few happy days they spent together; hopes she will be able to return the attentions she received from her and Dr. [Robert H.] and [Mary] Little; sorry to hear that she has been indisposed but is sure that since spring is coming she will regain her usual health; if it is in her power she will accept her kind invitation; received her cotton two days ago and will attend to it with pleasure; sent for the weaver directly but could not prevail her to take it until she had it wound which she will set about tomorrow; the weaver thinks ther is enough cotton to warp 50 yards or it will 12 pounds of cord she (EW) has sent; tells her to send what cord she has ready and she will have the balance spun for her; does not think it will take as much cord as the weaver says or it would be unecessary to have more spun than will be wanted; asks her not to says it is giving her too much trouble "for among friends these trifles should be thought nothing of"; she has an excellent spinner who has little or nothing to do; her "good man" is not at home or she is sure she would have a message from him; asks her to tell Dr. Little she longs to make them acquainted as she is sure they would like each other; for the past six weeks she has been in a continual round of dissipation; balls, routs and squeezes are the names given to the parties which she thinks very improper as they deserve more stupid names; 40 or 50 people meet together to sip their tea, swallow jelly or syllabub, sit until 12 o'clock and perhaps not once open their mouths the whole evening to say more than "how do you"; is quite worn out and determined to be thought unfashionable than continue one of the fools any longer; just called down to receive visitors so is forced to leave off without saying half she intended; sends love and best wishes to her and her family. 3pp. ALS.
