First of all remember when I com up from Fredericksburg and had the mesels and my sister was sent up their. She went to stay at your house. She told me somthing you sed to her. It was not dissagreable to me. Remember we was a Cousin John PORTER's riding together. I remember the kind invatation from you to me (that was told Mr. SMITH next day down at Uncles. I was sent before to get?) notes I thought I was happy then as I cood be. In 1785 in May we was at a frolick at old Mr. Joseph MARTIN'S when Captn. WEAVER and Mrs. WEAVER came by their for me to go home with them. I cood not go then. They sed if Frances PORTER wood go that I wood go. I promised to on Monday morning and so I did.
