In the little Box there is also a pair of socks the last work which was done by my dear sister's hands, these socks were to have been sent to you the day or two before her last sickness came on - but did not get sent. One however spoke about them to Mr Butters, trifling things tho' they be, yet they will prove how much you were in her thoughts. May we all that are left love one another as well as she loved all her Relations. An affectionate sympathizers heart is a great treasure. I know not whether I am just going to have a Blister on for a [...] asthmatic cough. I trust you keep tolerable and will be mercifully preserved. With love from all ever dear Eleanor your affct. Aunt Henrietta Weeks Wright Kind regards to your Husband from me and all mine.
