Baltimore May 22nd 1835
Well my Dear Isaac, I can hardly credit my senses, that I should have been nearly six months in this city without receiving a direct welcome from? among my dear family, from one of my most valued friends, can it be picque or an imaginary slight intendency on my part, which has withheld the desired satisfaction? I have been seemingly neglectful, yet a prince should consider how many circumstances may prevent a mother of almost four infants and her own health never very good, from being a punctual correspon=dant—I intended to have immediately written you when I heard of your loss, but really at that time some circumstance important to my family prevented, and I felt my total inability to offer consolation, when I needed it so much myself forgive my friend, all apparent neglect I am as attached to you as in former times if I know my own heart, and should be highly pleased to
have you a resident among us so that my child=ren could be as much benefitted by that society(the deprevation? of which has been truly regretted by their mother) as she has been, I will not dispair but trust my beloved Creator, who has so far listened to my prayers, restoring me to my dear family w? Will reunite me with my friends—I cannot write you a long letter at present as I am very busy making my children clothes for the warm weather, when through I will write more fully untill when believe me as ever unalterably your friend
A Block
My love to Mrs Lyon, Allen &c
