I am distressed to hear that you suffer with the rhumatism, you should
do every thing in your power in time to cure and prevent its progress
you aught by all means to weare flannel, and I am told read, is the
best. I wish you would put it on, if you have not, you should not neglect it
for it is of the greatest importance that you should be warm. You
should also be very particular never to put on damp cloaths if fine is
in your reach dry them. It is good to use a flesh brush freely.

Mr Bradfords family are all well. I expect you have heard that
Ann is married. The gentleman lives near Mount Sterling {Helen} is now
Miss Bradford she is not so showey or so intelegent as her other sisters.
Thomas B. is yet at the Gazette office. I have never seen him since I
saw you. I am told he has never been out side of the doore for two
or three years. I never pass a printing office but my heart heaves
an involuntary sigh. I think of days that are gon never, never, to
return. Why do feeling out live circumstances? Ah! it is right, it
is right, the bosom of a mother must be ever filled with care un-
till the last throb of its inmost con seace to beat. I would not
for worlds, it was other wise, the solicitude I feel for my boys
and daughter, is a spir to every action of my life. I live for them
alone, and hope in God that my lat breath I may drawn in his
prais, and a petition for my chilldren. I must now come to a close
as Mary Jane wishes to say a few words to you, and May, I exp-
ect her here in a few moments, perhaps she will say something
to you. Adieu, and may you be happy, is the wish of
Your mother B. Sloan

hted to see you again I hope the time will yet come that
