Dear Ann

Yesterday I rec'd your Highwood letter of 22/24 alt. to Saxonia, & this morning that Arabia, commenced 26th at Highwood, & concluded on 28th at your own home. - The latter epistle is accompanied by one of 28th; from Mytton - & all 3 are very acceptable. - You speak of Walker as "now"(28th) writing to you "(nee)" at the same table; - but perhaps you meant Mytton: - anyhow, there is nothing from him enclosed either in your letter to Arabia, or in Matthew's. -

Despite of the foul weather, you seem to have enjoyed your "11 days" sojourn at Highwood; so I am glad you went, both for your own sake, & that of Ms. King. -

I rejoice with you on the diamond ring having been found. - Your journey to 4th St on the 21st was no doubt consolatory to our faithful domestics in their affliction for their Aunt's death.

I am glad you had that letter of 10th January from Nan, & that she sent word about Rutson to his wife & sent her $5 at the same time. -

It is a relief to me, as no doubt to you & all around your fireside, to find that the anticipated attack on Norfolk is indefinitely postponed, or was not the contemplated object of "Burnside's Expedition." -

I thank you for the copy of Harriet's letter of 26th Jany, & I hope, that you may soon have had another one giving a more agreeable report as to the health of the household. -
