Brother

I Should be glad you’d send me the first informations you receive, of what Admiral Warren is doing or like to do in England. And whether the wasted[?] is returning in Orders. We want much to hear that the Fleet is preparing to come from England, in Order to carry on the Expedition.

Billy is so fond of a military Life, that he will by no means hear of leaving the Army. We have good Accounts of him from his Captain and Brother Officers.

I must desire you to send me per first Vessel as much single Refin’d Loaf Sugar as Sixty Pounds Old Tenor will purchase neither less nor more. Love to dear Sister &c. &c. &c. from Your affectionate Brother
