My dear Child

It is long since I have had the Pleasure of hearing from you, having receiv’d no Answer to a long Letter I wrote to you before I left France. I hope however that you and your [husband] are well and happy. If not, return as I have done, to your native Country. Your Friend Mrs. Bache and her Six Children are well and live with me. She remembers her Love to you; and I am ever Your affectionate Friend
