Dear Sister Eunice,
I am certainly in a vast hurry but will just express my love to you by a little Advice wch. I would have you accept as kindly as I give sincerely Vizt. as to a place of residence I like yr. proposall of Dr. Sewall's1 much and could wish it might be accomplis'd but what ever you do remember that Sister is a superiour now & therefore consult her advice as much as may be. If you can live att any other House I believe it will be adviceable but dear Sister remember that the best of Human Advice will perish before over ruling Providence therefore look above men & means to God above for Wisdom to direct. I wish you well with all 'my Heart and intend to hold correspondence with you by Epistles but am now much hurried. Write to me largely remmembring that whereas you have but one letter to write I have 3 or 4 &c. I Remain yr. loving Freind & Brother.
ROBT. TREAT PAINE
PS My love likewise to Mrs. Prudence2 (I dont know her reall name) & tell her that her Love comes too late & it might have been more acceptable 12 months ago &c.
