Dear Son & Daughter
This comes with my kind love to you all and am happy to hear you are
all well thank God for it I am tolerable well at present thank God for it I have had the ague very bad but Thank God as I hope through his
kindness it is quite removed Mrs Oliver was very attentive to me when I was ill with it and I find the benefit of being under her care for this last Quarter I should have left the Old House before but the Ploosn could not be got ready sooner your cousins all send their loves to you and are glad to heare you are well Mrs Oliver her kind respects to you I think Lynn means to emmulate Liverpool for they are building houses almost without end All Mrs Marshalls gardens are sold and are building upon I suppose they must be speculating upon this Norfolk Estuary will bring an extraordinary influx of people they are building splendid shops and allowing the old ones upon the first stile (that is for Lynn).

You expressed a desire to have your Mothers Prayer Book That you may
know all your ages I having got it bound up with the Psalms and Hymms
that is sung at St Johns church and the leaves with your ages Richd took away with him but I having my old indenture with your names and ages I am enabled to send them to you Nevertheless if you wish to have the book I will send it with the greatest pleasure if you will drop a line how you will have it sent pray give my respects to all in giving friends and receive the kind love of your Father Willm Cushing I was 79 last Thursday
