Esteemed Friend.

After we parted on thursday last, I accidently mett our mutual Friend Doctor Fothergill in my way home, and intimated to him, the subject of our discourse; in consequence of which, I have received from him an Invitation to a further Conferance on this momentous Affair, and I intend to be in Town Tomorrow accordingly, to meet at his House between four and five Clock, and we unite in the Request of thy Company. We are neither of us insensible, that the Affair is of that Magnitude as should almost deter private persons from meddling with it, at the same time, we are, respectively, such Wellwishers to the Cause, that nothing in our power ought to be left undone, ’tho the utmost of our Efforts may be unavailable. I am Thy respectful Friend
