User-Contributed Transcription we left and has not yet regained her accustomed spirits and health. Lucy has had an ill turn since you left but is somewhat better. "Uncle Natty" called yesterday to see Mother and myself, brought a large basket of apples and invited and urged that we should visit there, said we must excuse Sarahs not calling, because she has many cares, time taken up by painting & he is truly very kind and we have concluded to send them a formal invitation to visit us in a day or two and so avoid the necessity of going there, and discharge all obligations. The painter came yesterday and took the outline for mother is coming again tomorrow. I think you are very successful in your Daguerreotype; I am much obliged for mine I think it good. I am delighted with Lucy's handsome one it is very fine and a beautiful present. My pen is so horrible bad that I fear you can hardly read this. I want badly to hear from you, hope we shall have a letter today telling us about Brunswick and when you expect to start and how soon we may hear again Sister Anna My kind regards to your friends and best wishes and much love to yourself and my dear brother Isaac
