has been talkingabout going to Orange Co. I urge it I hope he
would be induced to listen more favorably
to my wish to move there.
I had a long kind letter from Juliann a week
or two since, tell her I am obliged hope she will
write us often as she can find leisure. I feel quite
impatient for the Result of the Election.
dr leaves for Phila ^tomorrow^ when I should be lonely if I
had not a plenty to do. I purchased a neat bead
bag for Caroline, knives for boys, & a pretty hdkerchief
for Aunt Charlotte for which she sends her kind love.
The little boys & C— their thanks to Grand Ma.
in haste your affectionate Cornelia.
