My dear wife and children (of whom I have now already three) are all well and hearty. The former desires to be kindly remembered to you. My own health has not been very good during the last year and a half; however, I am glad to say that I am tolerably well at this present moment. I must now hasten to conclude as it is getting late and allnmust be packed up and be in readiness for the bearer in the morning, and I remain, My dear Maclean, as ever, Yours affectionately, J.F. Riemenschneider. D. Maclean, Esq., N. Plymouth.
