I arrived here the first of last Month, and had the Happiness after so long an Absence of finding my little Family well.

The Anatomical Drawings and Casts that you sent over, got safe and well to the Hospital, except the Breaking some of the Glasses, which the Managers have repair’d. I understand that no Letter from you came with them, which leaves the Managers at some Loss in Writing to you concerning them.

I congratulate you on the Taking of the Havanah. ’Tis an Important Conquest, but the amazing Mortality among our brave Troops from Sickness, has made it a very dear one.

My best Respects to your good Sister, and believe me ever, Dear Friend, Yours affectionately
