A Dear friend I embrace the present time in writing you a brief epistle and to let you know that we are all well. I read your kind letter of the 20th inst. I received it last Saturday and was glad to hear from you once more. I also received one fron your Brother Aaron the same day his was written the 18th of this month. well Isaac I was to a quilting last Friday week to Samuel Mustons and indeed I was quite amused when I went into his house for it is so small and I thought about the young man that went to see the Lady Louise and I had to laugh for I thought of what a little house to spark great talk indeed.

I do not know but I judge from the way that you spoke of the affair that you are not as ignorant as you pretend to be and I think that you are a little somewhat spunky when you speak of national matters and I do not blame you for it as it is rather too bad. now I have said pretty near enough for this time for I have not got much to write. I wish you to take comfort I rejoice with you in the pleasant anticipation of meeting your friends in your own sweet home and then I will expect a letter from you that is if I am thought worthy and if not I can not help it I must bid you farewell for this time please excuse all mistakes and look over my poor writing for I am no scholar receive my respects Mary E Work Isaac L Work ÿ
