to my use. Is Aunt Eliza staying in P. yet
and if she is tell her that I have been for
a long time expecting a letter from her. As for
the rest I wish them all a happy New Year. Does
the prospect still continue to be favorable
to the idea of our having an European
Correspondent. I have endeavoured to write
this letter as well as I could so if it does
not look nice I hope you will at least give
me some credit for having tried

Yours affectionately

William
