This will be delivered to you by my Grand daughter, Which I have committed to her hands, to give her an Easier opportunity of waiting upon you, to see you, and pay her respects to you, on her own, on mine, and her Family’s behalf—her relation as grand daughter to me, is a proof, not only, of my advanced age, but a Testimony of the long Continuance of our Friendship, which in your last, you flatterd me with the First remembrance, of having been ever preserved without the least Cloud. Your affectionate Friend, and former neighbour, my Poore wife, has been the whole Winter much declining in her health, and is much weakend and reduce’d, but we have the comfort of her being free from any pain either of Body or mind, and sleeps much and with great ease; she knows of my writing and begs her Tenderest regards to you. I am Sir Your most affectionate Friend and Humble Servant
