Dear Sister
Your most welcome letter
reached me last night and tho' Ma and
Pa wrote yesterday, I can't imagine
what I am to tell you, still accord
ing to your desire I write that the Let
ter may meet you in Albermarle. Now
about our arrangements, we are just
as puzzled as you are; everything
remains just as it was when ma wrote
to Nina last [Tuesday?]. The man who has
our house is still trying to get a house
but as far as we can see without much
prospect of success. Pa has not heard
again from Clarke, and Ma says she
does not know what to advise you
to do. That you know the circumstanc
es as well as we do and she reckons can
judge as well. We are very unwilling
[Page 2]
that you should be separated from
us
