My dear Child,

I have this minute receiv’d Letters by the Packet of October, from Billy and some other Friends, but not a Line from you. I suppose therefore you have written by some other Vessel: I long to hear of your and Sally’s Welfare from your own Hands.

I purpose writing to you fully to-morrow; but as I may be interrupted, I would not miss this Post, in hope it may reach the Packet just to let you know I am very well and hearty.

My Love to all enquiring Friends. I am my dear Debby Your ever loving Husband

B Franklin
