Cape Island 1st July.
My dear Mr Leeser
I write this to say “how do you do,” & “good bye” I was quite sorry I did not see you before our departure. How did you enjoy yourself ? Did you see many friends? When you write tell me all about your visit (I have forgotten the place that you went to was it Baltimore or Salem) The only news that I can write about will concern all of our family for I flatter myself that you would be more interested in our affairs that in strangers. The weather has been delightful so cool we bathe every day expect the bathing will be a great deal better next week on account of the tide being higher (the tide is regulated by the moon)

The other morning Selina & myself were bathing were were not looking at the breakers & before we could do anything down we went flat. I was dreadfully frightened I tried to calck? me but could not at last a swell came & that brought me to the top I swallowed a pint of salt water. All my friends tell me they think I am looking a great deal better when I was here a day or two I weighed 86 & this morning I weighed 88—you can judge for yourself when we meet which I hope will be soon you better think of coming down it would be a great benefit to you to smell some fresh pure salt air. I must now bid you good bye as ma wants to write

Ma & Selina send their love to you hoping to see you soon.
I remain your fond
friend
Corinna
P. S. Kiss Dew Drop for me tell her to write me a letter.
