learnt, and to you the subject is indifferent.

So you over slept yourself at <placeName>Phila.</placeName> at least that was <personName>Rosa</personName>'s version of it, and had to remain a day longer in the city, and the fun was all over, when you got to <placeName>Washn.</placeName> However, a levee is nothing new to you, and I suppose did not cause much regret.

Did not <personName>E Ross</personName> talk of visiting <placeName>Readg. </placeName>soon? I should like to see her. She is the only one of <personName>Sister Betsey</personName>'s children, who has shown a disposition, to be on terms, with her relatives. The others keep aloof, it has often vexed and hurt me. <personName>H</personName> implies they think themselves injured, or ill treated, 'tho I am conscious of no offense or ill treatment.

You are aware the B. S. Journal has new Editors, could it not be given up now, as I do not see why we should uphold a tory paper. However, as you think, <hi>I am agreeable.</hi>

We have had pleasant, tho not such fine weather, as the last few weeks, all this week. But it has become overcast, as I am writing, and to morrow may bring rain or snow.

I shall close now as I am remarkably stupid. The fact is I began a story in the museum of this month, and I can't get it out of my head. So for fear you should be bored I shall subscribe myself your ever affectionate,

<personName>R Muhlenberg.</personName>

We finished our last butchering on Thursday. And I would thank you to let me know, if I am to get [unclear] pieces of Beef or not. It is time now to put then in Pickle.
