Saturday Morning 22

                                    We received three letters from you by yesterdays mail but have not time to answer them as we have an opportunity to send what we have written to Jonathan Leavitt to day  I am obliged to you for your generous offer but think if I live to be old & needy I shall need your assistance more than I do at present George Arms continues much as he was when you left here  Anne & Miranda returned home without seeing Orra  she was gone to Boston  I would hire mending if I could possibly do without
