I thank You for the Letter which you have favourd us with by your Grand-Son, who is a Bon Enfant indeed—a well informed, I perceive, ingenious, engaging Young Man, whom You have reason to promise Yourself Comfort, and ornament from, and to be of Use to His Country, May You yet for many years, be a Witness to His advance in the Career of Virtue, and at last close the Scene by blessing God for Him!

I thank God I am equally happy in my Children, of whom The World express Themselves too favorably for it to become me to repeat—But Their Talents for the present are lost, leading Each the retired Life of Country Gentlemen—The Youngest Living given me Four, the Elder Two Grand Children—Each marryed to my Mind, by a natural and Liberal not interested Choice.

My Wife after the Hearty old English Manner send her Love to You, thanks You for your Print, which will always be at Her Toilette, and assures You of Her constant Regard and Veneration. And I am with the same Sincerity My Dear Friend, Your most affectionate and devoted Servant
