My Dear Fred,

I could not eat any meat owing to gums being in such a state ---and the weather has been so very hot and have the bowel complaint so bad as laid me up----and now made up my mind to be off to Jersey as I am getting old and my sight fails me---this morning I have had a letter from William he is at the same place as usual---Helen sends her love to you and she is going with a lady and child down to Bath for a few weeks and then to Jersey—pray write to me and if you can give any account of Tom what is about as I have not heard from him very near two years since and also if you can give any account of Henry and Elizabeth as I never here from any of them. I beg you will send all the news about them what you can get—as for poor Catherine I have (regular news?)from. She at different times talks of getting married. I am afraid that she will make a poor job of that as for Mary I have no news of at present—poor old grandmother is alive I had a letter from she a few weeks since. I think she will out live me—I hope and trust you have got good health and I pray you that you will take care of yourself and should be happy to see you come back again-
