Mr. Eppes has this morning received yours of Dec. the 11. and poor Dear Polly has been in tears, tho after much ado she is so far pacified as to wipe her eyes and set down to write to you. We have endeavoured to amuse her by every little account of what children look upon to be Luxurys, and tell her they are to be found in France, but to all She turns a deef Ear. Her avertion to going is such...
Agreeable to your request I have written to you more frequently this Summer than usual but by a letter which I have lately received from Mr. Madison I find one I wrote the first of May has not yet left Virginia.

Your letter of Aug. 20. came to hand some time in Feby. and releived me from much anxiety as I had had Alarming accounts of your Ill state of health, and even a report of your Death had prevail’d here. I was sorry to find your spirits ware so much depressed but hope A resignation to the devine will with the assistance of time (that Salve for every Sorrow) will restore your mind to Serennity...
I am most unlucky in my Corrispondence with you for when I expect my letters are in France they are either returned or I hear that they are still in Virginia. The Inclosed is just return’d. I suppose Mr. Madison (to whome it was derected) is gone to Congress. But as I have an Opportunity of writing to Peter I must scribble a little more to you and get him to contrive it.—I heard from Eppington...
