Dear Sister

 

Doubtless but you thought

me unkind of quiting Boston without writing

you but hope your goodness will forgive

me when I inform you that time would

not permit me to do as I realy wisht but

With Mr Sarjeants illness & the other necessary

preparations my time was fully employd:

I am much obliged to your good Husband

for his kind attention to me & my family

for which please to give him my gratefull

thanks when you write to him, I had a very

fatagueing Voiage to England, but was very

kindly received by all My friends in Bristol

they had procured Lodgins in Bath to which

place I immeditly set out for & when I had

fixt Mr Sarjeant in a family I set out for

London which pleace I saw your Brother

he is married & as got 5 Children, I likewise

saw Col. Williamson & General Williamson

& your Brother Peters Widdow all who rec’d

me kindly, your [?] sister [Stloo?] as left

Three Children
