Alltho I know that the multiplicity of your Business ought to exempt you from all idle Correspondents I cannot think of allowing Mrs. Huson to leave this Country without writing you a few lines, nor can I think you will hear without pleasure of the happiness of a family in whose wellfare you always appeared to be interested.

My Uncle has Recieved his money from the Bank and settled all his affaires, Contrary to our expectations he finds his income sufficient to live here agreeably and we are all extremely satisfied with our present situation, the more so perhaps for being so long accustomed to adversity. When I say we I speak of myself as a member of this Family, for I am at too great distance to know much of Mr. Williamses situation, this only Consoles me, that I know in what ever difficulties he may be he will extricate himself with honour, and that if he Cannot satisfy all his creditors they may say he has been unfortunate, but never unjust: in reality the Change in my Sisters situation gives me as much pleasure as them and makes me forget my own; and thier satisfaction is the more Compleat that my Uncle having regulated with the utmost exactitude all their expences they are certain of not exceeding what reason and prudence directs: he too is in better health and better spirits than I have seen him for many Years, he has a large Family who are indebted to him for thier happiness and it would be hard if they could not Communicate it. We Learnt with great pleasure from my Father that he found you in better health at philadelphia than when he left you in France; surrounded by all your Friends you should indead be happy and that no doubt Contributes to health; Mrs. Huson will be an acquisition to your Society, she has been perswading us to follow her example, if we were sure of giving you as much pleasure it would be a great temptation: My little Girl is as good in London as at passy, Mrs. Huson told her she must go to america to see her papa and bring her mama and Aunts with her, she thinks she must do as she is bid, so that I have had no other conversation ever since. I beg to be remembered to Mrs. Beache she gave me some Commissions in France which I am afraid were not very well executed because it was at a time when I could not pay so much attention to them as I could have wished if I can be of any Use to her here in that way she may depend on my sparing no pains. I am ever My Dear Sir your affectionate and obedient humble servant
