Dear Tabitha,
Thank you for your letter! I liked it. Your harsh winter sounds dreadful. Here in Georgia I see ships pass by sometimes, but not as often as the spring and summertime.
Your father was smart to purchase supplies for his shop and your family. But you must be so sick of eating salted cod! The weather here is definitely warmer than yours, but still chilly. I cope with the weather well if I do say so myself.
I have never seen snow, but it isn't very warm, but not cold. Our farm is fine, and so are our crops. We also have plenty of jams and jellies that we can sell and use. I have heard whispers about slaves coming to our colony. Can you imagine that? I think it is stupid to own someone! I mean, wouldn't you? It's sickening! By the way, on the hankercheif I sent you, on it was going to be a purple T, but father suggested that I use some of the Indigo supply and make it blue. I hope you like it!
All my love an warm wishes, dear cousin,
Yours, Mary.
