p.

I brought some buckwheat from Th and the clock now warns me that it is time to back
some cakes for supper - so with kind regards to Henry I will close this very poorly written letter,
having a poor pen and hands stiff and trembling with washing. Uncle T's folks are pretty well,
Aunt P is not very smart.

Farewell my dear boy ---- Mother

**I hope for a letter from thee tomorrow, did not hear all last week.
