[salute] Dear Girls
Excuse me I have time only to tell you that I designd to have written, but the captain
sails sooner than I expected. I send you some magizines to amuse you, and will continue
them to you. Give my Duty to my Honourd Mother and Love to my cousins, to the Germantown
family
1 remember me. I have a letter too for milton Hill
{ 187 } partly finishd.
2 See what procrastination does, but I wanted to have my letters late, and so I am
dissapointed of sending any. I am much hurried just at present. Dont you pitty your
cousin, not a female companion of her age. Miss Hamilton, the only one she has had
in England, is saild for Philadelphia. I wish for you I am sure every day of my Life.
Adieu dear Girls. Love me always as I do you, & believe me ever your affectionate
Aunt
