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,

Dear Sir/
I was favoured with yours yesterday enclosing my Account, &

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
