My Dear Mr B
I receiv’d yours in due time & find
from its import that you want me at home
yet I think there will be an impropriety
in coming before the times you mention’d to
Mr Smith as it may appear strange, to hear
I am arrived sooner yet if all is well & I can
get a place in the Coach I purpose being with
you on Thursday night tho’ it will be late in
the evening as it sets off from here at 5 in ye
afternoon. If there is any of that kind of
quilting to be got of the same quality with
a border, be so kind as send 3 yards as soon
as you can with convenience I hope you are
all well & going on the same in my absence
[damaged] to hear soon
I remain
My Dr B yours very sincerely
R Bateman
