My Dear Brother
I return you many thanks
for both your kind letters, which I receiv’d at
the same time by the cross-Post, with the
Bank-note enclos’d, I sent you M^r Smyth’s
account last Saturday by which you will find
I have rec^{d L}16: ^S15 of him.
You are very kind in sending the addition
to the half-years Interest, but if I take
it now I will not any more, for at Midsummer
I {^^shall} receive the Interest of M^rs Williams’s
Legacy: I have ventur’d to lay it out in the
stocks, for they are now so low that it is
a temptation to have a little there.
I am much oblig’d to you for the offer of
the Tea-Spoons, but I beg you will keep
them because they are very handsome
and what I have will do very well for me.
You don’t mention your Ancle, so I hope
it is better, which I shall be glad to hear
next time you or Charles write.
I remember Serjant Foster’s daughter when

[f.35v]

a little Girl, and I thought her very pretty.
I am sorry you have been hurried about
changing your House, whereabouts are you
got now? I beg my Love to Charles. Having
wrote so very lately I have nothing more
to add now but that I am Dear Brother
your Affec^t & Oblig’d Sister
