Your cross letter was receiv’d this
morning just when my seat was took to
come in the mail with George Marsden
or else from some circumstances perhaps
it might have been as well to have
waited till you had been appeased; if
you think it prudent shall be glad to
meet you at the Swan on Friday
night we set off tomorrow, I need not
tell you my fears, but I trust the keeper of
Israel will be better to me than them
all {^Mr} & Mrs Ws respects along with mine
conclude me yours
sincerely
