I was favor’d with yours yesterday enclosing my Account, &

am glad the halves of the Notes came safe, enclos’d I send the

remaining halves which I shall be glad to hear reach you

as safe. We are happy to hear M.rs Cooke & Miss Herbert are

better. I believe the oldest People never remember such a

summer, ‘twill make every thing very dear I sho’d imagine.

I do not think there is any Reason for Us to be uneasy about the

Paragraph you allude to in the News Papers, for Government

exerted themselves so properly, & resolutely, that in my own

Opinion even the most abandon’d of the lower kind of People

will always remember the (deserv’d) Fate of the Rioters with

Horror. The good news from our Fleet have enliven’d every

Body, & I hope ‘twill damp the Courage of our Enemies. M.rs

Cowper joyns in Compliments to yourself, the Ladies with,

D.r S.r y.r most obed.t Serv.t

Dear Sir/

I was favoured with yours yesterday enclosing my Account, &

am glad the halves of the Notes came safe, enclosed I send the

remaining halves which I shall be glad to hear reach you

as safe. We are happy to hear M.rs Cooke & Miss Herbert are

better. I believe the oldest People never remember such a

summer, ‘twill make every thing very dear I should imagine.

I do not think there is any Reason for Us to be uneasy about the

Paragraph you allude to in the News Papers, for Government

exerted themselves so properly, & resolutely, that in my own

Opinion even the most abandoned of the lower kind of People

will always remember the (deserved) Fate of the Rioters with

Horror. The good news from our Fleet have enlivened every

Body, & I hope ‘twill damp the Courage of our Enemies. M.rs

Cowper joins in Compliments to yourself, the Ladies with,

Dear Sir your most obedient Servant
