acquaintances. I should be very glad to see old Uncle Thomas Johnston's Family
it would afford me great pleasure to spend a week over the ground where I was
chiefly raised although I know that it would make me feel Melincholy still it
would afford me pleasure-but nay the time is past when I shall be as one of
