Holograph, signed.

Mary Gray Chapman returns Deborah Weston's ruff. She is thankful that Deborah's letters have arrived with "as favourable intelligence of Henry's health as we could resonably hope." [Henry is probably a reference to Henry Grafton Chapman.] Mother has been very ill and now recovering, and regains her health slowly.

On a separate leaf, there is an extract of a letter by Mme. Dupuy; it was transcribed by Mary Gray Chapman and sent to Deborah Weston. Mrs. Dupuy writes that Mr. & Mrs. Chapman have sailed for Port au Prince. She describes their travel plans and expresses the pleasure derived from their visit.
