and arrived in London before your Papa left it. I have had one
letter from him. a little {?loe} but however rather {?boring} to as I have
trusted your Prudence with the whole affair. I must let you know the
progress of it. Your Grandmama in her will desires Sr W^m will give Mrs
Marchwell 300 a year & your Uncle Edward & Charles 15 each
{?w} is very well off. Your uncle Edward is her executor that is to
say will have by that means all her furniture &c & what read
was left which I am afraid is very inconsiderable. I believe
is to take a Lodging in London by way of a Home
from thence to {?mind} about. {?It is tis} but way
She dyed quite composed & quiet Received all
the Sacraments & was so sensible of what was
doing that when they gave her the holy oils she herself push’d her
Cap up to received them on her forehead. she went off without appearing
to suffer at all. It is a great blessing to be this comforted in this
last awful act. & seems to be a particular {?blessing} of God upon her because
the idea of Dying used formerly to put her into agonies of fear &
apprehension. Your poor little Brother Ned has again immediately on
his return to school, had the same complaint that attick’d him last
February. It is now over but the surgeon was obliged to attend him as

last winter. It is very singular & I must own gives me great uneasiness
he appear’d to be quite well when he went away but I suppose this was
inclined to Return & so the journey brought it forward. He is now
some years at Hamburg to {?Revive} themselves {?the} father has a pretty good
estate & George Petre going there last year to the academy took such a fancy
to Miss Howard who is Considerably older than himself. That she would marry for Ld.
Petre seeing him {?despaired} very prudently came into it. Allows him a thousand pounds a
year & him to remain at Hamberg with Mr & Mrs Howard till he is twenty one. Adieu little girl
