Dear Madam
   Welcome & thrice welcome to our Land! I have sufferd much apprehension for my Sylph tho it seems to me as if she was made to live & to charm in all elements, yet I was afraid of y=e= Ocean & if the stable Earth by rains has lost some of her trusty firmness. I w=d= have braved the malignant gloom of ye day, & have calld on you instead of sending a note, but I imagine you are not to be found at home. I shall be at home this whole day nursing the headach, unless you tempt me to y=r= enchanted & enchanting fairy Castle. I am sorry M=rs= Hancock has been ill, & that you have taken a violent medicine to make you so. I beg to know how you both do. May I flatter my propensity to a passion for M=r= Vesey with the hope of finding more autumnal Graces about him? My comp=ts= wait on you all & I am glad we are now within the sphere of visits & twisted notes. Dear Mad=m=
   Ever y=rs=
