Dear Sister
The great anxiety we have had upon our minds
for some time was greatley releived by your kind Letter on
Thursday last which we are mutch oblidg^d, to you for, & -----
heartily Congratulate you and all our friends upon your safe
recovery for had it pleased God to have taken you away
from us as has been the lot of my Poor Sister Frost it
would have been a great Shock to Nature & the Consequence
I am afraid most terrible, but thank the Lord that is not
the case, for though we have lost a dear & valuable friend
yet still we have great reason to be thankfull for his
goodness to you. Poor M^rs Frost was 3 Months Ill at
Hackney & greatly afflicted which she bore with great
patience & Resignation, was sensible to the very last &
went off like a Lamb at Eight O Clock on Friday Morning
last with a Blessing to all Her Friends, Notwithstanding
she was in great pain & waisted to a Skeliton & her release
what we all wish for, Death was very Shocking to us and
has brought to remembrance the many Happy days spent
together, but we have this to comfort us She was a very good
Woman & is now at rest, I beg Pardon for this long detail though
am certain you will excise it, being sensible of the value of a true
Friend, but will change this Melancholly subjects -----------
Immagine before this comes to Hand you will have seen the Gay
Batchelor who hope got safe down & found all well and make
no doubt but some smart Lady in Yorkshire will steel his Hand
for don’t think He can fix in this part of the world, It would
have been great pleasure to me to have accompanied Him down
to have seen my Friends in the North especially at this time for
nothing would be a greater Inducement then to find you quite
Reinstated in your Health ----------------------
