Mr Wright wanted to be head servant here & he would get about the the same wage but he wisely decided to change a certainty for what may only last a few months. He was very glad to see us. Uncle E. has just been in to say I am to tell you from him to get two handsome gold bracelets one for Isabella & the other for me & he encloses the order for their payments. He also sends you his love.

I shall like to see dear Camden again. God bless you my own Uncle. Love & many kisses from yr ever affect. niece E.
