I receiv’d yours of the 2d Inst. dated at Blackfriars. I had but just receiv’d the Wheels you mention. The Ice had prevented their coming up the River. I shall write to Mr. Viney as soon as I can. In the mean time please to acquaint him that they came to hand well and that I like them. I enclose a Specimen of a new Work by the Author of L’Ami des Enfans, which I shall continue to send if you like it. I have now only time to add what is indeed needless to add, that I am as ever Yours most affectionately

I will not transcribe any part of the Dr’s Letter but send you the whole, because I think, short as it is, it will give you pleasure to see it. Now I must tell you that I expect to have my letter returned, but not to pay postage for it again, as you cannot   to make a single letter of it as I do, so have no way of saving me that charge but by bringing it yourself. Summer is come now so I expect you and Mrs. Viny to begin to return my visits. My daughter sends her love to her friend Mary, and hopes to see her soon. My affectionate Compliments attends uou all. Your o[b]liged humble Servant
