My Dear Dr

The receipt of your letter on Friday
last gave us much pleasure Mrs
H. had requested me the day before
to write to you relative to the health
of Mrs T. Your kind letter anticipated
our intentions and we have now the
gratification of congratulating you
and yours on the safe arrival of
the Little Gentleman Long may he
live to be a joy to his parents and
a blessing to his country and the
world - If he be not a Philosoph
who in the widest sense of the
term then then will he want much
of that inheritance which should
be his [birthright?] both from
Father and Mother.

We are all well and pleasantly
settled in our new house and shall
be happy to provide you and yours
