| Transcript | Buffalo 8 mo 15th 1839 My dear Cousin Since I saw thee this morning I have been thinking that two or three sheep would be better than the others that I mentioned to thee; and if the small sum that I gave thee were invested in sheep & given to Maria from me, I would prefer it, provided that you think best. If I find a good opportunity I intend to send you a couple of nice pigs that will do credit to the neighborhood. I hope it will be convienient for Maria to pay us a visit before a great while. We got along very well so far and just going ... for the [Niagara] falls. Rebecca unites with me in best wishes for you all Thy aff. cousin Abrm Bell |
