Dear Son & Daughter,

Enclos'd I send you some late Letters of Ben's to me, by which you will learn his Welfare.

I have agreed to take here an American's Bill for 100£ Sterling lent him. I shall send it to you when I receive it, and I desire you to lay it out for me in a Share of the Bank.

I am well, and shall soon write to you more fully.

I have ordered Casks of the best Claret to be sent you in three Ships.—

God bless you both.

Your affectionate Father

BF
