I received yours of the 26th of September last, with your very agreeable Present Doctor Lewis’s new Work. You judged very right that I should find in it entertaining Particulars in my Way— the Management of Gold and Silver is treated of in it better and more particularly than I have met with in any Author.

The regard you have always shewn me requires my acknowledgment, which I wish to make by serviceable Actions, because they speak louder than Words, but I fear I shall die insolvent. The Junto fainted last Summer in the hot Weather and has not yet reviv’d, your Presence might reanimate it, without which I apprehend it will never recover. I am dear Sir your Affectionate Friend and obliged Humble Servant
