your kind Leter wrote on New-years Day came to my hand on the first of Febr. and I Shuld have Ansured it Sooner but I had some uncommon hinderances no[t] otherways Disagreable. We have Accustomed our Selves so Litle to call the streets by there names that we who Live in them do not know it, my Next dore Neighbour Mr. Roby calls it Clow Street, the Regester for 1784 calls it Eliott Street, but another Neighbour mr. Parker who was Brought up in it says the Records of his Deedes call it Unity Street, which I beleve must be Right. The other Information you Desier I inclose I was writing this when cousen Jonathan came in an brought me your Agreable Packet, I did not know Mrs. Gauden had wrote to you for the she gave me a more Plausible Story than she appears to have given you I advized her not to write till she could git all nesesary Vouchers, Poor wooman I beleve she had none, and is much in the condition you discribe.

The Name of the Famely you mention as Living at Provedence was Compton, the woman was Daughter to our Brother Samuel, she has been Dead some years, he had a Famely of Children what Number I know not, won Daughter I heard was Comfortably married I forgot her Name.

The first time I was at Provedence after I came from Philadelphia I went to the House saw the then Present Wife and two Daughters, I Left my Name and that I Shuld be at Mr. Welcom Arnolds but have Nether seen or heard any thing of the Famely since, and I did forgit to mention them. I forgot also a Grandson of our Sister Harris’s whos Name is Fullar who I hear is a Genius, and Lives at Provedence, I think his Occupation is a Shop Joiner. I never saw him, there are Divers more of that Famely but I Dont know where.

I am happy to know your Disorder does not augment and that your Appetite continues Good and that you are chearfull, that helps us a long among many Litle Annoyances which we can not Expect to be totaly freed from till we Atain to the Injoyment of that New and More Beautiful Edition we hope for in a Future State.

I am Proud that you commend what I wrot to Mr. Vernon. I never had the Least Intention to say any more about it but to give you the Information you desiered.

I ask your Pardon if I appeard to Blam you for accepting the Goverment I knew you must have had Wise and Good Reasons for your conduct but I feard the Consequence of so close Atention as Apered to me to be Nesesary in this Difficult Situation of Affairs. May God give you help and Prosperity.

My son Collas is come home well, and my Dayghter beter in Health, they with my Grandayghter Janney mecom Remember there Duty to you and Joyne in Love to yr Children and Grandchildren with your Affectionat Sister
