Dear Sir,

Having waited here near Eight Weeks for a Passage to England, we are at length told we shall certainly sail tomorrow.

For your Amusement I enclose you a Copy of a Letter I lately sent to a philosophical Friend in Carolina. I shall not forget your Thermometer, and shall be glad to hear from you when in England. I am, Dear Sir, with great Esteem, Your most obedient Servant
