I received your late Letter, and am pleas’d to see that you improve in your Writing. I have also receiv’d the little Drawing of a Country house, which seems to be prettily done, and shows that you advance also in that Art. I write by this Post to Mr. Marignac, requesting that he would permit you to come and see me and stay with me during the Vacation of the Schools. I hear you have been sick, but I hope you are recover’d and strong enough to undertake the Journey; and then it may do you good, and help to confirm your Health. Your Cousin remembers his Love to you, and I am ever your affectionate Grandfather
