I most heartily wish you Joy of your little Girl & of Constances being so well pray remember when she is well enough to be talked to, I shall be very happy to try & amuse her as I believe she has no Sisters in town – but quiet is so necessary at first that I shall wait to be told when I may visit her only recollect I am always ready

Y^rs very Sin^ly
