Rockbridge Baths VA

My dear Sir 
I have delayed answering your letter of the 25th Ulto: until I could announce the arrival of the box to which it refers.  It reached Lexington in due time, & I found it at my house on my return there a few days since.  The bed quilt is beautiful, & please say to Mrs Wroth that I shall value it very highly as the work of her hands, & know that it will impart to me more pleasurable feelings than bodily warmth. 
I am here with Mrs Lee, in the hope that these baths may alleviate her suffering, & think (page 2 ) they have exerted a beneficial influence, though I fear they will not be able to remove her disease. 
With my earnest prayers for the health & happiness of yourself & Mrs Wroth 
I am with great respect 
your friend & servant
