Your letter which I recieved [received] the 15th inst. was,
as your letters always are, very acceptable

I was happy indeed that you, Chas & Hattie
were enjoying good health when you wrote
and I hope you are enjoying the same blessing
at the present time, which if continued to you
will I trust render your home in a great degree
a happy one. Harriet is now probably attending
school and also taking lessons in Music, but
I do not think she is able to take a music
lesson early enough in the morning to be "on
hand" at 9 Oclock [O'clock] for the District School, as she
thought she should, although I expect she exerts
herself to do the best she can ---

I continue to enjoy excellent health and
am getting along about as well as I could
expect. You will please accept my thanks for
your kind wishes for my success in business &c [etc],
which I hope I shall realise [realize], but if I do not,
I shall not murnner [mourn?], for I have learned to do
the best I can, and then not satisfied with
the result, to take every thing as it comes, and
try to make the best of it. In my last letter
I gave you a very good idea of my situation
so I will say nothing more at this time, but will
"post you up" on whatever changes I make in
my business affairs from time to time and
will also write you how I succeed ---
