But I never got as far as building a house. I was entranced by Washington & hope to come again sometime. Your husband was extraordinarily kind in all the help he gave us... I hope we shall see you again in England...”, 2 sides 4to., Wade Park Manor headed paper, Cleveland, Ohio, 5th November the year added in another hand
