Letter of Abigail Hughes - 12 Nov 1809

The 11 month the 12 1809

Dear relations  Choosing anopertunity to write unto
you I feel [   ] most easy to imbrace it, although
we have sent a leter to you sins we have recieved
one, I have nothing in perticuler to communicate
unto you, onely we are in a good state of helth,
at present and disire these may find you in
the same, state, but alas how many have been cauled
from time to eternity, from amoungst you since
last /spring. under the consideration thereof I
have had often to simpathise with you acording
to my smal mesures and may the Lord strengthen
and enable those he is pleased to leave behind
that they may stand faithful to the truth in all
things.  That his testamony may not fall to
the ground in that place is the disire of
my hart, so no more at preasent but my
love to you all in which Judah joins me

                                            Abigail Bowerman

To Samuel Hughes

Judah has not forgot to save thee som
apels seeds but has provided som for thee
and we are in hopes thee will come
and fech them thy self through the [   ]
of the winter
