Very much occupied and harrassed in mind, the reply which your kind letter so justly merits hav^g been so procrastinated, that I fear you will attribute it to less worthy motives. For verily, it has the appearance of Culpable neglect. Altho you afford me no reson to expect you have yet the last letter of my father, who I suppose has heard from you.

I hope that Sarah has perfectly recovered I pray most devoutly for the wellfare of your household.

God bless you
Most Aff^y
