dear Elias,

I was happy to receive your kind letter of the 14th ultimo per King of Lyre and to find you were all well on your side of the Atlantic. I had hardly expected to find time to write you by this vessel but this being Sunday I consider it no less a religious duty to keep up good feelings betwixt those so nearly allied rather than to omit doing so when other days of the week are so much occupied as not to afford time. We are extremely busy at present and likely to be so for some months to come.
has latterly overcome the distress which the death of his poor father had caused and which has so affected his health that I have been often alarmed at it but I think within the last fortnight he is improving in his health and he is a most indefatigable person in business never quiet or easy unless at work; as for myself I am more deaf than ever although I write a good deal in fact all our letters and direct things. I cannot cling to other matters as when fifty years of age. Still there are few who undertake so much as myself at my age, now in my seventy-seventh year. My memory is extraordinary perhaps never exceeded but the heat of summer acts so much on my nerves that I become quite overcome by lassitude and lose all bodily energy.
have not heard from poor Elizabeth a long time since and I must soon write to her, poor creature, I much feel for her. If we were twenty years younger I would have invited her to come and live with us but at my age it appears to be preposterous to think of it. I agree with you that Fanny's being so near her will be a great source of relief to her mind, who I expect will take a deeper interest in her welfare than any other person about her.
the failure of the fisheries on your side we have out stores quite full but the Portugal markets are quite full and results are quite favourable. Of four cargoes I have sent one to Italy keeping three - quite enough.
a sad catastrophe for Hugh and Mrs. Hoyles, the death of their dear child at the interesting age she had arrived at and under such circumstances as to be far away from her parents, and I understand she was a very fine girl, how heartrending for her sisters at the same school.
have a bad year in this country, quite unproductive in olive oil and wine, especially in the former. Salt only is abundant and cheap.
business is Robert Carter doing, his family very large and at an expensive place. My time is so much taken up that I have made an effort to write you, having so many letters to prepare for this vessel and shall have no other before March perhaps. I would send you some little remembrance had I but time to do it and wait to spring. I can only at night find time to write. God be with you. Accept Lucretia's, Henry's and my love, and the same to Ada. With every good wish and kind remembrance to all friends on your side, I am
Your affectionate brother,
T.B.Rendell This event was shared with Elias RENDELL.
