My dear, I was very much provoked to have missed
you this morning -- I stayed at home expecting you all
yesterday, this was a great disappointment to me, &
I am very sorry to hear that Mr Dickenson is not well --
if it does not rain I will certainly come to you
tomorrow morning, or be glad to see you at breakfas[t]
as to the Evening I can say nothing, because I am
at this minute expecting my Father, & if he does
not come to day I shall expect him tomorrow --
if he does not come & that you are naturally to be
at home I will come to you from 8 to ten o'cloc[k]
(for I dine out) -- but I will not have you stay at home
for me as I am so uncertain about my Father --
     adieu God bless you my dear -- affectionately yours Charlotte Margaret Gunning
                                                        Saturday --
