My dear brother
The prescription
is exactly right
and I
[ ? ] you to
continue it for the pres
ent.
I was quite astonish
ed at the compliment
that you sent me for
I always
[ ? ], ore
expecially when
[ ? ],
under a distressing
felling of homeliness
Charley is first rate
as lively as a cricket
the greatest difficulty
we have is to
[ ? ]
his appetite. He is a
great feeder but we
keep his food so simple
that he thrives well
The Knoxes did not
return with Charlotte
neither did Mr G
so you see we have
quite a quiet house
for which I feel
thankful
To day is Sunday &
Aunt Betsey is with
us which is pleasant
for my father
I am glad that one
of your eyes is some
better. You must
be careful not to over
eat. for in that way
you directly induce
congestion in the
cerebral circulation
nothing new here
We are all as well
as usual
Wm has been to Bos-
ton twice
[ ? ] week
something about Sloth
I believe
A’n’l you coming
home to Thanksgiving?
Give my love to Spring
er
And now my
“Old Buffer”
Good bye
yr aff brother
Charles
