My dearest Elizabeth,
I am now taking this opportunity to write these few lines to
you in hopes to find you enjoying perfect heath as I am happy to say that I am
at present thanks be to God for it. I
have this day forwarded to father my likeness which I have had taken some time
since but could not until __ day could find an opportunity to send it. I have also sent a gold locket with my
likeness inside of it, which I had taken at the same time, to be forwarded to
you, which will be in compliance with your request in your last letter which I
received this week. I hope that you can
recover my last letter which I wrote to you and enclosed in father’s
letter. I have, as you will observe by
that letter, left Nashua and am expecting a situation in or near Boston in a
few days.
I told you in my last that I might be coming home this
summer but I have given up the thought of it for the present. I shall endeavor to write to you again by
the next mail that is in answer to your last letter for I have only a very few minutes
to write this time & am sending the letter by a Welsh friend of myne on board of the mail trans packet. I was very sorry to hear of the long
indispositions of your father. I hope
that he may soon recover again. Please
to give my kind regards to him in return for his many kind wishes towards me
all times.
T. Price desires to be kindly remembered to you. He came to Boston to see me on Saturday &
he is returning home this afternoon. I
shall direct this to Holywell which I suppose you will be able to get it better
than if I was to send it Flint. I forgot
to tell you that you could have your likeness taken and place it on the
opposite side as you will see after you have opened the case.
So no more at present in my great haste. Believe me dear Elizabeth to remain yours
most affectionately.
J. Benjamin
