I like it not, that SrSir
				
“John did not call for you. I heartily wish, he may be
“Steel to the Back; for I doubt him greatly. Your Anec-
“dote of 1000 Miles, &and yet looking well &and fresh, was,
“&and still is, a refreshing Cordial, that gives Comfort to
“several Friends, especially, considering the Short-
“ness of Time; a plain Indication of Vigour &and
“Activity; the Increase &and Success of qchwhich I hearti-
“ly pray for. God be thanked for the Welfare
“of Cousin Peggie. Continue, Sir, these agree-
“able Accounts every time it is in your pow-
“er. I condole with you on yethe Death of Mr
“Fitzherbert. It would appear, from your few
“Words of him, that he was a Friend indeed!
“Wo’sWoe is me! for yethe faithful are minished from
“among yethe Children of Men, &and are much upon
“the Decrease.”
