Dear John,
We received your letter on the 5th inst. and we were very sorry to hear that you had
not received our letter for we had received your letter on the 1st
of October and we wrote an answer to it on the 3rd of October, and I
cannot think where the mistake must be for we did use to post our letters on
Fridays, but __ any mistake might take place, we all together post them on
Thursday evening at all times, therefore I do not know how it is. I would wish if I could and heard Elizabeth
Garner happened to be going to Flint the very day and I was writing when I was
__ at it and she wrote a bit of a note and put it in it at the same time , but
I hope everything you have received the both and If you have received them I
gived you all the intelligence about the money , that I had no trouble at all
about them , only paying the same as usual , and we were both of us very
thankful to you for your kindness towards us at all times, and I went to Flint
to pay Thomas Edwards, he was telling me that the A____ had got tired of
waiting on me for they were so very ___ , and I was two pounds short in paying ,
and he told me he did not know what they would say, but he knew they would
grumble, and I persuaded your mother to go to King Seal, to Mr. John Eyton to
speak to him about it, and Mr. Eyton was so kind as to write a note with her
back to Edwards for him to send to them for to wait a little, and they would happen come to their place
again , and he questioned you mother about if we need any arrears, and your mother
told him we had no arrears and he was quite surprised and very glad to hear,
and your mother told him you was out in America and that you assisted us in
paying our rent, he was so glad to hear as possible and ordered your mother for
to not to take on her to nobody , but __ upon herself entirely , and I sorry I
have to inform you that we have buried poor George Angely about a month back
with a four days illness. Your mother was
in Caerwys Fair with fanny , and she bought her a pig there , and they all send their kind respects to
you there, your Uncle John was very bad, he was in bed when she was there and
he was very glad to see her , and wanting her very much to come soon and see
him again , and she means to go towards next week if all is well with her, so your
brothers and sisters send love to you all of them and they are pretty well in
health all of them, thank God for that.
Louise and family was to see us last Sunday and the little girl could
mention your name in a moment as soon as we shared you likeness to her. She called out there’s Uncle John as soon as
she saw it, therefore you must be so kind as to give our warmest respects to
Thomas Price, all of the family, and __
the same yourself, from your affectionate father and mother, Robert & Sarah
Benjamin, and we are both of us in tolerable health , thank God for it , only
we got a very bad cold last week as made us a little worse than usual , you
would not believe how sorry it has gone here, the Colliers has stopped working
only every other day upon account of the railway delivering coal to the
smelting works cheaper than they can rise it here , and this fortnight they
have not worked only four and some five days , and people is __ __ a great many
, Thomas Jones the watch maker, and family sends their kind respects to you,
and were glad to hear and the two cousins(?) is coming in first rate, we should
be very glad if we could say the same , and Mr. Jones likewise complains that
it is very sorry in Holywell , much talk of coming to America sometimes , so
goodbye and God bless you at all times.
