My Clerk has delivered me an Account for the News Papers which are forwarded to you and I therefore beg leave to Send you the State of it for your information.

I am truely happy any occasion offers to allow me to enquire after your health, beleive me no one will receive more real pleasure in having it under your hand that you enjoy that blessing more than my Self. We have long known each other, and I feel warmly concerned in any matter that is of moment to yourself, of course it will be a real gratification to hear you are perfectly well. Mrs. Potts and myself were exceedingly mortifyed that Mr. Franklyn should come to England at a time it was totally out of our power to shew him the friendship we had for him. Unfortunately we had just moved into a New house and while the workmen were in it, we were obliged to reside in the country.

Mrs. Potts begs me to present her best Compliments jointly with mine to yourself and Mr. Franklyn. I am with much truth and Regard Dear Sir Your Most Obedient and Faithful Humble Servant
