Dear
brothers and sisters, I now write these few lines to you hoping
to find you quite well as, thank God, it leaves us all at
present. You must excuse me for not writing before but we
have not had our likeness taken yet. We can't get anywhere
about here. We had a letter from George about a week ago and
he was quite well and he has 3 children. He says he thinks
he should come home in the summer for a few weeks. Mother
is much the same. She sends her kind love to you all and hopes
you are all well. Robert and family are all quite well and
send there loves to you all. I dont know whether you
saw old Harmer when he was in America. He is home again allright.
Father was at Norwich sometime back and he saw one of your
wife's brothers and he was quite well. We have had some very
fine weather. We have not had any snow nor sharp frosts yet.
Corn wheat is about 1-3-0 shillings a comb. There are not
many turnips about this year. Pork is about 8 a pound, and
beef and mutton 9. This Christmas give all our kind love to
Sarah and husband and family. There are not any potatoes about
this [?] year, not good ones. They are nine and ten shillings
a sack. There are plenty of apples
My
daughters kind love to all. I remain your affectionate brother
and uncle, William Remmington.
