“May 9. 1772.
The good B.Bishop says, we have got in-
“telligence
by this time of — Marriage. I do
“Assure you it is only from him by your means,
“that we know anything certain about it, ex-
“cept
what every bodyeverybody must know. I would
“be glad to know her christian Name, as
“you know, there is one expects a little body
“soon. I leave it to you to find out the Name
“if you can.”
