Bath, North Carolina June 1st. 1752 Gentlemen,

I take every Opportunity to inform you of my proceedings, but as I wrote at large by Capt. Bow'n; so I can not have Any thing Material now to add, but only that I hope the Vessell has sail'd. I am in good health & think it full Time to set out for Boston. If the Vessell be not Dispatch'd, I trust you will do it as soon as may be. From yr. humble Sevt.,

R. T. PAINE
