I pray God our dear Children may be safe and well.
I expect Letters from you tomorrow. mr Brislers Letter came to day inclosing a Bill of Laiding2 our people have compleated covering the Medow with sea weed, which is all that can be obtaind untill a North East wind replenishs our shores again. mr Brisler mentions a case & tells me it must not be brought up in a cart, but Does not say what the contents are. adieu I am / most sincerly & affectionatly yours
