Cousen Jonathan is very Alert in Assisting, and I am Pleased that it will not Totally Die. I have no Stamp and I fancy if any should be made for America it would be cleaver to have thirteen Stars, for the Crown Soap now vended among us is as contemptible as the British Head that Now wears won, dirty stinking stuff.

I sopose on the strength of that acquaintance He thought he might make Aplication to me, he says his Brother writs him he is Perfectly Innocent of the crime lade to his charge, that it was commited by another person belonging to the same Vesel who is run away.
