&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am just set down to answer my dear St George’s letter, that took only seven months in writing, I am very happy however that in the latter part of it you make a full recantation of all you have said in the former, for be assured there is few things in life that would vex me so much as being accused of forgetting my friends, particularly one I have so great a regard for. – I am very glad to hear that you have paid our friends in Bermuda a visit as it must have given both you and them great pleasure, as well as me in hearing from them, as your letter is the only <strike>is the only</strike> information I have had from that part of the world since last Summer. <br />
