    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 is the only information I have had from that part of the world since last Summer.
    As I have a great deal of news to write you I think its high time to begin, in the first place then with what most dearly concerns me, I was so happy the fourth of last month as to make my dear Mr. Montreson his usual present of a very lovely little Boy, and have in a few days to return to our happy retreat with our other two dear boys and little Fanny.

The general court, regardless of such agreements, have reversed the judgments in all cases wehre the declarations have not been filed. I am
                   Dear Sir,
                        Sincerely your well wisher
