Dear Granma  since my mairage with Mr. Canterbury I have read your letters 
with much interest.  your last long letter to him called forth all of my 
sympathy for I have a great love & Reverence for age.  my Husband has always 
spoken so highly of you.  he has learned me to think of you & we often talk of 
you.  My merried life with Mr. Canterbury has been a very happy one so far as 
he could make it so far.  Several months past my health has been miserable & I 
have been discouraged.  I have but two children.  both girls.  the oldest is 
eighteen,  the youngest who is with me is sixteen.  Many is the heart eachs I 
have about them.  three years since I saw the oldest.  I left her with one of 
my sisters.  She had no children of her own & I gave her one of mine.  I 
suppose Mr. Canterbury has written all of the news concerning his family.  the 
girls both have good men and live so near.  they can visit each other.  Alice 
as a big healty boy.  Eliza baby does not look so well.  I think Eliza is a 
Noble woman.  well I suppose you know as well what my good man is as I can tel 
you he is always good to me & we are a happy old couple always plenty of 
company for each other yet love our firnds.  He sayes he intends to go to 
Texas and then we will visit you.  I shall be glad to have him go this comeing 
summer.  I think Elizza will visit you next summer or fall.  now good by and 
write soon except our love.  (it might be J.) Canterbury
