I wrote to you a few Lines last week, but they were written in much Haste1— We flattered ourselves with recieving Letters from you or Sally on Saturday last, but were disappointed. This I impute to negligence at one or other of the Post offices. The Disappointmt. was the greater, as we were and continue anxious to know whether we may expect the Pleasure of seeing you here this Month. Whatever may be your Decision on that head, I am persuaded it will be well founded. If it should be in favor of coming, I will, if you wish it, desire Wm. to go immediately to Albany & accompany you. I regret that I did not think of this sooner, especially as it ^is^ uncertain whether your answer will arrive seasonably—

Your Cousin Susan is again here—2 as to Health, we all remain much in the same State. We should be happy to learn that your’s had become better. April was a fine month— as yet May has been cold, and I fear the Fruit will be injured by frosty nights. They have checked Vegitation, which was coming on very rapidly— perhaps a favorable change will soon take place— we seldom have settled weather until after the Middle of this Month.—
