I have really got rid of my cold. I shall take care that I do not catch another while you are away. I must now my own dearest husband bid you good night. May God bless and preserve you and bring you back in safety to your affectionate wife. Susan D McLean I think I shall be able to get this letter sent by the Rose which has not left yet as the wind is against it, is it not fortunate I do not know whether it is in the harbour or at Evan's Bay. I am sure however Mr Moore who is the agent will get it sent if possible. Be sure love that you take care of yourself and not get rheumatism.
