To my nephews, James and John Inskeep:

I never had an opportunity of seeing the letters which was sent to him by your aunt and your father, who I understand has been dead ever since the year 1729. I am the daughter of John Inskeep of Fooford in Straffordshire, and sister of your deceased father, and have living, one brother and two sisters; my brother James Inskeep who corresponded with your father and you, and has let me have several letters which he received from you in order that I might write to you-his wife is dead and he has only one son whose name is a James-my sisters are Catherine and Margaret which are married and have children- Cathrine lives in Staffordshire, and Margaret in London; and I have four
children and live in London. I have a brother deceased in Staffordshire whos name was Jonothan Inskeep, who has left a wife and four children, the oldest of which his name is John Inskeep. I would be very glad to hear from you, to hear if my sister Ann, your aunt is living, and where she lives. This is the whole act of our family in England who are in good health at present, some of my children are grown to maturity and have a great inclination to see their relations in that part of the world if they could have the pleasure of hearing form them, thefore it would be a great satisfaction to recieve an answer from some of you, you signified in your letter to my brother James Inskeep your desire of corresponding with the family, which I hope you will take hold of all opportunity to do-me and my husband and children and all our relations joins in love to you-from your affectionate and loving Aunt.
