Sir,
Some time having elapsed since I last had the honor of addressing you I trust you will not impute the apparent neglect to want of attention on my part to your anxiety respecting the health of Mrs Vickery, 1 but from not having any material alterations in her state to communicate, she has suffered great variableness of disease but tho still in a very debilitated state I consider her upon the whole to be advancing gradually to restoration & was it not for a dyspeptic state of the stomach from which she now chiefly suffers I should say she was free from diseases for the removal of which I look forward particularly to the advancement of the present season, which has been hitherto very unfavorable for her – cold damp &c. I am happy to say I have induced her to move a short distance from the City where she is now comfortably situated both as to the parties with whom she is & also being in an open situation with a free & pure air. She has requested me to convey her respectful duty to You –
& believe me Sir – With sentiments of respect Your Obt Hble Servt
