Transcript

Stratton Hall Sept’r 22’d 1827

Lady Darrager Rosse returns many thanks to The Right Rev’d: Bishop Chase for his [hand] remembrance of her, & sincerely rejoices at the success of the good cause. She has seen with pleasure many of his letters to Miss Macfarlane & to Lord Kenyon but one gave her concern in telling the dangerous fall he got: She hopes he will never ride alone again, & that the good Scotchman continues to attend in these very dangerous long rides. Lady R will be glad to see the Rev’d Mr. West & to hear more of the progress of affairs in Ohio than letters could carry, for she is greatly interested, & will always rejoice to hear of the good Bishops prosperity & the success of this great undertaking
