basket，
and read
the
followinglines：-
“my dear
children-i
hope this
will find
youwell，
and that
this one
will be as
good as
the
others.

more
tender， if
i may
venture to
say so，
and

but next

you a
turkey-cock，
unless you
havea
preference
for some
dabs； and
send me
back the
hamper， if
you
please，
withthe
two old
ones. i
have had
an
accident
with my
cart-sheds，
