I recvd. the inclosed from Capt. Collis who is a prisoner in England, you will see by it an account of his Misfortune and desires of Assistance, which I should be happy to be the Instrument of affording him. It is perhaps needless to tell you that Capt. Collis is the Husband of Jenny Mecom. I also inclose another Letter which by the address I suppose to come from aunt Mecom, if so, or from any other part of your Family, I shall be happy to hear of their Welfare. I hope to see you in a few Weeks. I have been somewhat retarded in my preparations to sett off with my accounts compleat, by a severe Fit of the nervous Headach. I spent great part of the last Week in bed, but am now much better. I am ever Your dutifull and affectionate Kinsman
