be happy now their family is about them again...

So you are not overjoyed by the preparations for your brothers marriage. Dear, dear, you are a surprising youth!... When you wed you'd best elope, & do the thing on the quiet. Thereby you'll escape parsons, churches, feasts etc - but not consequences!

Well, my dear Cousin, there is nothing more I can think of to relate that would be of interest to you. ...not that I for a moment imagine I have written anything of interest!... so closing's the best thing I can be doing the now.

Yes, I & so often recall our little excursions here, there & everywhere. We spent some pleasant hours together you & I, Cousin... I do not forget.

"Adieu" to you now. Remember me kindly to all... & express for me all the best of wishes to Etta & Ellis in their new life.

As ever

Marieeee
