I am much pleased to hear that <personName>Rosa</personName> has got rid of her cold. Tell her from me that now, since summer has come, she must rise early & walk before breakfast. It is absolutely necessary for her health & comfort. <personName>Hiester</personName> & <personName>Hen</personName> must also get up & accompany her & if you could occasionally join the party it would do no injury. If you do not walk in the morning you should do so in the evening at least. Exercise is always beneficial.

Next week you will have the Clergymen with you which will give you some trouble, I fear, as you are always enclined to provide more than is necessary.

Strawberries are tolerably abundant but owing to the cold & dry weather they are rather hard & sour. I beg of you not to worry yourself. They must be satisfied with what comes. I wish I was there in order to manage for you or rather to assist you. But there is not much business & of course you will not be troubled with them for more than three or four days.
