Front: Oliver Ellsworth letter to Nabby Ellsworth, 1783 January 8

Philadelphia Jany. 8. 1783.

Dear Nabby -

I have not yet heard a word from
windsor or Hartford since I left home, but hope
I have now letters on the road which will
affoard me the great pleasure of hearing that
you all all well & do not suffer at all by
my absence._ I feel myself bound by [...]
& promise to write you a line by eve[...]
tunity tho' I should have very little to say,
which is the case at present._

You will percieve by the enclosed
paper that Charleston is at last really evacu-
ated, which reduces the Enemy in these United States
to the single Port of New York.

with love to Nabby & a smack for the
little boy & a thousand good wishes to you all.

I remain unalterably your -
