Hearty thanks for your present. Also for your two notes. We most sincerely wish wish you all the happiness which can be expected in this world. Very glad we should be to see you here; but I think you will find yourself so well suited to your new career, that you will remain. We are a sick house with 3 Boys in bed with very bad feverish colds, so no more at present, except kind remembrances to Mrs. Innes & Johny, the young Laird.
