Dear Father and Mother and brothers and sisters
As the present time affords
an opportunity of communication with you I embrace these
opportunities at every period in my power. You will see by
the date of another letter agreeing with this that no letters
have come to me as yet, in my opinion they are here
but have not yet been forwarded. My request is, that from
this time forth you will always send them by the captain
of a vessel. These go by the Conestaga, a regular trader.
It is now a year since I left you and no accounts have
reached me concerning you. My situation at present is
[ ] (considering the times,) good. As to the difficulties in
after my arrival. The person with whom I live is very rich which
