Decber 28th [?1827]

I must write to my dearest Stormy, to congratulate him, on another happy return of his birthday, let us keep it, with all that festivity and joy, that we cannot help feeling, on such an occasion as this. I am sure this day, must always be dear to our remembrance, we would be very ungrateful, if it was not so. I hope we may hold it, as much cherished in twenty years hence, as we do at this present moment.

I hope my dearest Stormy, you will enjoy, many more of these happy birthdays, With this fervent desire

I remain your

Ever affectionate

Arabel
