   This letter has lain several days 11 mo 13 for me to make an addtion, but being diverted by company & other engagements, it slip my memory, hope the delay will be no inconvenience to dr brother of whose safe return from his arduous Journey it was indeed pleasant to hear, & the account of the interesting interview with the poor natives, exerted feelings, somewhat similar to his own, so that my dear sister may judge, that further particulars would meet a Cordial reception.   but knowing thy time, as well as mine, is much occupied, I must not enact too much, please inform of the articles the sent for,  have arrived, & hoe they suit the young women. also whether the Sprctables are any hlep to thy sight. Lydia Rodman is now in this City, Lodges at her brother Wms, she don't intend making a long visit, having no desire to enlarge her Circles of acquaintances
