White Creek Jan. 21, 1827

My dear Husband,
	I have heard nothing from you since you left Washington, although I have been anxiously expecting to hear from you for several days. If kind Providence has succeeded your desires, I suppose you are by this in Charleston; to which place I wrote you one fortnight ago. This letter I shall address to you at Savannah, as you directed, but must wait untill I hear from you again before I write an other as I know not where it can find you.-- Our friends in this place are all very well. Ann Eliza grows finely, has three teeth and can walk any where in the room alone, but rather feebly. She was highly delighted when she found she could walk without assistance. You would have been much amused to have witnessed the transport into which this new acquirement threw her. She has been of late rather peevish. Poor little thing, I expect she has suffered considerably <s>in</s> from her teeth.  The debt is paid at Troy, and the note taken up and destroyed--  I shall send the Girl of the pine woods to Prof. Ruggles by the next mail.
