Elizabeth M'Clintock letter to Richard Hunt, II
12/08/1853
“Waterloo 12 mo 8/53
Dear Richard
I was glad to get they note last evening & to find thee is in good spirits & happy. To day, I suppose, & for the rest of the week, thee has vacation. How is thee going to fill up thy time? I wish thee could spend it up here with us. If thee had looked at the date of Sallies letter I think thee would have found it was written last seventh day Sale said she intended it should reach thee on second day evening – but was disappointed in getting to the Post office. I told them they must write thee regularly twice a week – which I guess they will do. They are both of them quite hoarse - & little George has a heavy cold so that his mother is afraid of the croup. They all seem very much pleased to hear the good accounts I have given of thee, thy father particularly. I hope when thee returns they may be able to see that the "boy has almost become a man." Thee “hopes I will return before Christmas” assuredly, you can not keep me away all that time. My painting standing untouched in the corner stares me in the face & begs me not to leave it in so unfinished a state. I shall be with you at second day at the farthest. I [expect] since thee & Burroughs have fine times together – I want to come & share them – a little more than two weeks & thee can come up & take a peep of them all – Is it not nice to be so near home : If thee cannot read this, Richard dear, thee must get Burroughs to help thee – He is accustomed to my hieroglyphics – This is rather worse than common – because of a bad pen and but little time to write it in
Good bye and love Thy cousin Lizzie”
