I received yours of July 4. with the Bill enclosed of £200 for your brother, which I deliver’d to him accordingly. Calling in here at the N England Coffeehouse, and finding this Ship just upon sailing, I would not miss the Opportunity of giving you this Information, tho’ I cannot now write to my other Friends.

It grieves me to hear that poor Josiah is in so bad a State of Health. But being young it is to be hoped he may weather it.

My Love to my dear Sister, and to Cousin Grace and your Family. I shall write to Jonathan per next Opportunity. I am, Your affectionate Uncle
