Dear Sir
I am about building a small house, and must be obliged to you for the english materials, which I shall send a bill of exchange to pay the cost of, so soon as I can get the favour of you to inform me, by inquiring of proper persons, as near as may be, what it will amount to.
A bill of the things I shall want is inclosed, none of which I would have you send til I write again.
It is with pleasure I can acquaint you that your son, who is now at our house, seems to be in good health.
With my best respects to mrs. Norton, and the rest of your family, I am
Your affectionate friend,
And humble servant
