Respected Cousin Germanflatts April 25th

 1830

It is with pleasure that I now take my pen in hand to let you know we are as much

as well as usual and hope these lines will find you enjoying the same blessing. We arrived safe at

home teusday evening about seven oclock and found the family all well. Since then I have been

at home excepting going to school a few days untill last monday I commenced teaching school

about half a mile from home where I am engaged for the season. Mrs Haymer was at Richfield

visiting when we got home. She came home saturday evening and Cousins Abram and Abigail

came with her. The rest of the connexions were in usual health then I have not heard from there

since.

Since I have commenced writing my head has begun to ache and I much come to a close by

asking your pardon for not writing before and wishing you all health peace and prosperity in this

world and that which is to come give my best love to uncle and Aunt and all my Dear beloved

Cousins and except of the same yourself

yours with respect Azenath FrazierMary Ranger

Respected Cousins I now take pen in hand to inform you of my health which has been

very poor ever since I left you I was confined to the house about two months that I did not go out

the door. I am some better I can knit and sew a little although I cannot sit up all day. I have not

 been in the street since I came home except twice last week I rode about a quarter of a mile. He

should I must come to a close by sending you all my best respects with the rest of the family and

hoping you write soon I hope we shall have the pleasure of waiting on some of you here this fall

or winter.
