Margt is better than she was, but not very well yet she has a girl to do her work we have lived here four weeks and not one neighbour has called on us, however[3] our newest neighbour has sent in one of her boys to Borrow Mrs Parken has been visiting at Sarahs twice she came up to see Mrs Mitchell she was inquiring after you. I hope you will not be long in writing the girls all talk of writing to you but are so busy with their studies there teachers are so very strict, they are at home on Saturdays but have to do all the washing on that day.
