My child
Patience has been in so strange a state since yesterday morning we have concluded is but erring on the safe side by sending for Dr Curtis - Malley seems always so reluctant to part with Tip - he has gone with him & Floyd followed suit - Tip going to Mr Grants instead of to Brunswick Your dear Sisters & myself consequently are alone. Bill is glad to go to Hamilton by her you can send your kind offering
of butter. Did Maggie propose taking tea with you or with us tomorrow evening - if she said nothing to you about it - I would have tea early to save you trouble - I hope you found dear Willie still doing well on your return from Church -
Your own fond Mother AM King
My child
Your dear Father - Lord Floyd & Mr Portell have just returned - Mr Hyles was acquieted [sic] last night - I am glad your Father & Lordy stuck by him. T'was what our beloved would have done - the dear ones say they are well.
I take this chance to send home the two barrels William loaned me - also to send you some peaches Miss Gould sent here for you - I heard from dear Geo - she sends love to you my precious child
In very great haste
Your Mother AM King
