Phil: 22 Dec. 1826
My Dear Wife,
This moment I have re’d & read your dear letter of the 10-
I am exceedingly affected at the relation you give of [?] [imployment] feelings & tenderness of the Children. God grant that what you say of Walter’s piety may be true. Tell him to look to his [Savior] and beg for a clear heart and a renewed spirit and all will be well.
I am very thankful that you are getting on so well, in the domestics.
Whom od you mean by “Mr B;” & his “going in the south room” & “the furniture” ? Pray tell me.
Concerning Mr Stephens I will make inquiry.
Our subscriptions in this city amount to $1,200 & upwards. Two hundred of which are put into the hands of William Jones Esqr. of the Custom house in this city subject to your Order.
I am now very busy; having to walk a great deal, my leg begins to inflame & swell again: By bandaging it tightly, however, I can get on. Don’t be alarmed, my well leg was as the lame leg now is. This I trust, will soon be well.
Of one thing be assured that I will let you know the truth & that I am ever your faithful & affectionate Hus’d. P.C.
I think I shall get thro’ with Phil’a next week; but I should not be surprised if it take me longer. Write every mail & Dudley will know where I am.
