David has good health at present, and has had a very prosperous business for a good while past — his family are all well, he is always much pleased to hear any thing about you and your journeys — Indeed all the family considered Louie very kind in sending papers to them in your absence containing accounts of your cruise in that distant part of the world I shall still cherish the hope that the good time will arrive when you will see your Wisconsin friends again – I hope god will ever bless you all, is the sincere wishes of your affectionate Mother
