Noah Webster letter to Emily Ellsworth, 1836 June 10

New Haven June 10 1836

Dear Emily.

I duly recd yours the other day. I am rejoiced that you are mending.

I expect to start for Middlebury next monday & be with you at night. I am afraid I shall not see Mr Ellsworth, as he will go to Litchfield, I suppose this week. He told me he had it in contemplation to ride a journey with you soon, & I wish him to take an eastern direction, & go to Concord in New Hampshire, to do some business for me. You would pass through Worcester & Lowell, & I think this would be agreeable to you. But if he is to be absent on monday next, I shall not have an opportunity to see him. I will however write instructions & leave the necessary papers with you. I expect to be absent three or four weeks.

We are all pretty well, except little Fanny G. whose head appears to be []

Love to all from your affectionate

N Webster
