    I am indeed sorry to hear that there is as yet no chance, of the war being stoped (sic), I was in hope that it would have been over, long ere this but I suppose we must hope for best, althou' I have no doubt but that you find it very disheartening Me and my little family were in Exeter, when I received your letter I was very glad to get it, and hope, that you will not fail to write me again, when you have the time.
    John is still in business with Mr Raddall, and I believe after Christmas is to be equal partners.
    If you think of coming to England again; we should be most happy to do all in our power for you.
    You would be much surprised to see Uncle William poor old man, he is not like the same
    I suppose you will have heard from Sarah about their going in business I should think that it will be a good thing for them.
    Sarah was looking much better, when I was in Exeter than, when she was here in the summer; her children are a great trouble to her; they are such great spirits, and are indulged a great deal, by Davey, and Uncle James.
    Mine are I am happy to say pretty good being made to stand in fear the two oldest, are growing away nicely, but baby is very small, altho' I think pretty healthy.
    I suppose Matty is got a fine Boy by this time, I should very much like to see you all.
    Mr Madden that went with you to Australia, seems to be getting on very well since his return; he repaired and new fitted up, a Dog Cart for John, in the Summer, and did it very well.
    Plymouth is getting quite a large and important town, there has been a daily newspaper published here, for nearly twelve months past, which seems to pay very well, the price of it is only a penny.
    John, and the children are quite well and write with me in kind love to you all, hoping this will find you in a much better position than when last you wrote. I remain your very affectionate sister E Collings.11,12
