infermilies [sic] of age in some degree — M^rs Mallison who is almost always
an Invalid, desires her best regards — I shall now take my leave with
wishing you every bleƒsing, both for time & eternity, & that the Lord may
      bring you home in health & safety is the sincere desire of
            your very Affect^te Mother
