Dear Sister,

I received your kind Letter of September the 10th by Cousin John Williams, I have also received and paid your Bill, and am pleased that you added to it on Account of your Wood; As to my Health it continues as usual, sometimes better, sometimes worse; and with respect to the Happiness hereafter which you mention I have no Doubts about it, confiding as I do in the Goodness of that Being who thro’ so long a Life has conducted me with so many Instances of it. This Family joins in best Wishes of Happiness to you and Your’s with Your affectionate Brother
