Includes references to the week days in the Quaker style. Friend Thomas has “renewed all his attention” on Sarah, but R. refused to let him read her letter. Acknowledges that Jo Coates read her letter after R. left it laying out on the sofa, and R. promises “to put thy next into my work basket, for it is not worth while to put them out of the parlor for the first few days after their reception as so many of thy friends always want to see them.” Remarks on house cleaning and the challenges of tending to an infant. Mentions family news, social visits, Whitsuntide bells. Includes a note, “George & Rebecca, chiefly R Coates 1808-1809.”
