I wrote you lately by the way of Holland, and sent to the care of Mr. Sowden three anniversary sermons designed for Your Self, Mr. Deane and Mr. Lee. Hope you will receive them, but for fear lest it should be otherwise have sent three more on the same service. Pray you to forward Mr. Parker and Mr. Field’s letters by the first post to London; and Mr. Jonathan Tabor’s by the first post for Holland, as the early recipt of it may be of considerable consequence. You will have from others all the particular news: so that I shall only say, that our military affairs are in my apprehension in a promising way. I do not think that GB will reduce us this year, and if not this year, there will be less and less likelihood of it every year. Wishing that you may have much good news accompanying packet, and that you may live to see and enjoy the establishment of our Independency, I remain with much esteem your sincere friend
