I now tell You, that
I suffer Death To-morrow for my
Duty to God, my King &and Country. I
bless God, I die in Charity with
all Men. I think, my butchered
Body will be taken Care of, &and buried
as a Christian, by Order of Francis
Farquharson, who has acted a Fa-
ther to me, &and laid out a good deal
of Money to, &and for, me, whereof
you may expect a particular Ac-
count, which I leave You, on my
Blessing, to repay Him. I die wtwith
the greatest Regret, that I've been
a bad Husband to you, &and I beg,
you’ll pardon me in your Heart, &and
that you'll express your Goodness
(as you'll answer to God &and me in the 426 (426)
the everlasting World) by your Care
of, &and motherly looking to, your Chil-
drensChildren's Salvation, &and right putting ymthem
to Business in this World. I know
not, how many are alive, only set
the Boys to some right ImploymentEmployment,
while Young, &and strive to admonish
the Daughters in the Fear of God.
I herewith send you a Note of qtwhat
I would have done with the Trifles
I have a Concern in; for You know
the Lump of my Business.
