A portion of a letter--the Post Script portion--that states:
Good night! & believe me sincerely yours,
Henry Smith
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P. S. Continue to _____ as before.
Your kind remembrance my dear Evelina, gratified me, almost as much as Elvira's letter.-- For Heaven's sakes, keep your good resolutions. Be as solid as Elvira, and as studious as anybody else. You did right to give me what intelligence Elvira had omitted--continue to do so, and recollect I can judge by your style, how much you improved--Your friend & brother[-in-law?]
H. White
Evelina Foster
Louisville, Kentucky 30 Jan 1836
Note: This letter is confusing as to who Henry was addressing on the P.S. Daughter? Sister? Sister-in-Law?
