in my carriage it shuts up tight and is warm
and better than sleeping on the ground I live alone
and do my own cooking I am taking more comfort
now than I have ever taken since I came from home [inserted] if you
can call it comfort tell the children I should like
to have them happen along when I am cooking
my dinner or supper so they can [inserted] see how I do it I
have got a little spida and a kettle a little pot
for my tea so you can immagine how I get
along with my duty give my love to all of
the children tell them I want to see them very
much I had a letter from cousin Laura and I
answered it I asked her to go over and see you
and tell you I had not heard from home since
I left Mchester but the letters all came last night

Arabine a paper with General McClenans farewell
