Dear Uncle

When I heard of your arrival nothing Ever made me So happy. I wrote Directly to you, but when I was not Honored with A line from you, I Could not help Crying, for your all the uncle I have in the world by my Poor Father. I thought you would not write to A Poor little Country Girle, but Every body Says you have no more Pride than A Child and that has incouraged me to write to you again. I often think if Could See you and Cousin Sally I would be the Happiest woman in the world, but I live A great way off. Pleas to Give my [love?] to Cousin Sally and Except the Same from your Affectionate Cousin
