D^r Sis^r London Aug^st 11 1761
I take y^e Earlest opportunity of Sattisfying you that
I and my Companion got safe & well home of Satterday Night & found both
Famailys in good Healths I went of Sunday to Hackney & found all well
there Exceptting Sis^r Frost you must Immagine y^e Meetting was very
Maloncoly (it was so) Especialy on my part for as to her Recev^d me with
a Compose^d & Serene joy as she chose indeed on all Occation but when
she begun to talk of her Death & y^e Reason of Desireing to see me before
that time my Situation you may well judg was very Unhappy Especially
When Expressing so mutch Sincere Regard for me even in her Last moments
(as [deleted] one may say) for Certainly that cannot be far of for her –
Situation is quit Deploreable {^for} is Reduce^d past my Discription is not now
Able to sit up any & her Voice so very low you can’t Understand very
Little of what she says I go of Friday again to Hackney as she is very
Desireouse of seeing me as mutch as posable whilst she lives where I propose
Staying to see y^e Last of y^e Best of Woman ------------
When I went to see my Little Boy found he had been very ill but {^is} better
He hath not come on at all but is Rather Week in his Loines its
true he gose a Lone but it is but poorly & his Nurs is so very big
that I believe hath not had y^e best of Nursing but been left to hobble
about as he cou,d am advise^d by all friends to keep him in y^e Air till
Stronger hath therefore spok to M^rs Wheler who will take him & upon
That Consideration & y^e Young {?Girls} Parants fear of her Coming to Town
Hath Determin^d me to Desire you to Lett them know I shall not want her
