I am now preparing myself to write a short letter to my Dear Grandpapa and hope he will let me hear from him as soon as he recieves it Aunt Jane has gone down the country and it is probable will not return this winter I shall be very sorry if she does not for we shall be very lonesome by ourselves here. I have no news to tell you but I do not suppose you would expect any from me who am in the country. Mama and all the children are well and send their love to you Give my love to Mrs. K. Smith. adieu my Dear Grandpapa believe me to be your most affectionate Grand Daughter
