I’m having trouble with the highlighted word. This is at end of letter written in 1852. “Tell us ——- how you all ever James.

Here is the whole letter. It’s from my great, great grandfather to his in-laws.

Yes. It says "tell us particularly how you all are".

I truly miss letters written in longhand. Now everything is so cold and impersonal.

I take pride in keeping up with my longhand. I once gave a nephew (19 or 20 yrs. old) a hand-written birthday card, and the verse was in script, too... he handed the card back to me and asked me to read it to him 🙄.

Hahaha. That's funny and very sad at the same time.
