My Dearest
As I know it will be truely satisfactory to you
to xxxx hear of y^r Dear Martins welfare. I w^d not
omit this opportunity to acquaint you that He is as well
as I can expect. He Rests well, is free from Fever, & the Pock
changing; His Face is full, but will not be mark’d nor any
feature of his Face changed. Doctor Tessier told me this
morning He thought Him in a perfect Good way & out
of Danger. M^rs Butler & M^rs Webster are great Friends
M^rs Webster told me, she never had the pleasure of know=
ing of Her before, but assured me she’d glad of her acquaint=
=tance, for she thought her the most agreable woman in
affliction she had ever known. the Good Lady of LeisterFields
was so gracious as to send a How dye yesterday to Martin,
for the first time, tho’ she knew by M^rs Butler, last Friday
of the Child’s indisposition – I have not stir’d from this
Place since my first arrival, not will I leave my Dear Boy ‘till
He gets up, which I hope with be Sunday or Monday next I
expect w^th great eagerness to hear you have met w^th as great

[f.142v]

success in your nursery as I {^ ^have} had here. I left my little Pen
in a fine way & do not doubt but that she is {^^now} galloping w^th
honest Jack round the Room. My Blessing attends them –
Dear Child! join w^th me in returning thanks to almighty
God for all his mercies, more especially {^^for} those, w^ch we have
so lately receiv’d; our Dear little martin is restor’d to us, &
rescued, by the Almighty Power, from the Jaws of Death, the
Remembrance of which, I shall endeavour never to forget, but
shew my acknowlegments by Praises & Thanksgivings to Good
works. Adieu my Dearest Love
I am yours Entirely
