Dear Sir
I have yours, with one from M^rs Deustow by my
daughters direction, & am very glad to find all are
in so good health, Miss mending fast, & M^r {?thriveing}
though not so fast as before his weaning. I shall be
sorry that (in stead of doing business) yê Colonel should only
carry a company of hunters so far which must cost
him dear, or make his company very uneasy
by their expense, which twill be wisdom to present , &
mind what he goes about. M^r Snow (where yê Colonel
intends to quarter) desires a warrant for a second
buck. I find yê {?Decretall} order will not pass till
I speak with yê Register my self. Cousin Edmund Fortescue
is gone in to Devon. Philip desires you'll speak to him to
be so just as to make him satisfaction, & not bring a
[vertical left side]
blemish upon his family. Lady Ann Robarts pretty daughter is lately dead. Please
to accept mine & wife's humble service for your self, my daughter by yê hands of your servant
