My dearest Friend

The Presbyterian Congregation have voted me the front Pew in their Church for my Family. It is an elegant new Building and the Pew is large.

I have bought me a Pair of young Horses for a Carriage and a saddle horse.

The Birthday was affecting and the Night Splendid but tedious to those who were too old to dance.

I have now Settled all my Accounts with the Senate as you will see by the inclosed Papers.

I assure you it was a tender Scene at parting. How do you like our Adieus alias Farewells. Nothing yet determined about House or Furniture. Yours with a great desire to be with you, but it is impossible.
