Dear uncle and aunt and cousins, it is with pleasure that I now write a few lines to you hoping to meet you and all the family quite well as, thank God, I am happy to say it leaves us all well. I dare say you will be surprised to receive a letter from me, one whom you never see. Still, I should like to see you all. Dear uncle, has uncle Riseborough aunt Sarah's likeness? We should so like to have it. Give my kindest love to my aunt and cousins. I am living in London in service. I have been in London just 3 years. Uncle Robert's oldest daughter is dead[1]. Mary, Catharine, Robert and James are married. Eliza and William are single. Robert is married and has got seven children. Uncle John has 4, and there were three married when I saw them last. Do you know any thing about uncle George for I can recollect him. Give my kindest love to all. I remain your affectionate niece, Betsy Broughton[2].

This is my address

Miss Broughton at Mr. Reeve

386 Kings Road

Chelsea, London
