I received your Letter from Boston just as you were about to depart for Virginia together with your Father’s Account, which makes a Balance of upwards of £20 due to me. As he has taken a great deal of Trouble in my Sister’s Affairs, I do not think it right to expect Payment of that Ballance, and have therefore wrote to him by your Brother, enclosing a Receipt in full for the same. I am glad you have disposed of the little Books for my Sister, tho’ at so low a rate. If you go from Virginia to England without calling here, give my Love to your Wife and Sisters and to Mr. Alexander, your Uncle, and let Mrs. Williams know that I shall be happy to see her and her sweet Girl arrive here with you. My best Wishes attend you, being ever Your affectionate
