I cannot let this Opportunity of Mr. Jay’s going to London, pass without Dropping a Line to you; to say that I am tolerably well and love you as much as ever; and that I wish to hear from you oftner, tho’ I am so bad a Correspondent as not to deserve it.

I find I have, left, four of my Vols. on Electricity, and none of your Collection. If Mr. Johnson does not think I have already had too many Copies, and will send me four more, I shall be oblig’d to him. Mr. Jay will be kind enough to bring them. I am long in your Debt: when will you send me your Account? Have you receiv’d News of your good Father and Family’s Arrival? My Love to your Brother William, and let me know how you, your Spouse, and Children do; for I suppose you have now more than one. My Grandson presents his respectful Compliments, and I am ever Yours most affectionately
