May 4th. 1757 Dear Eunice,

I expect to send this by Mr. Palmer with yr. Elix. Nerv. Dr. Sprague says it is good for you, & ask'd if you continued drinking Salt Water wch. he says will be very beneficial. I forgot to ask you wn. there, but if you can drink it I believe it will be best; I should have been with you before this but the Court adjourning to Fryday next I can't be sworn in till then, at wch. time I shall commence Lawyer.1 I have sued the Hingamites if they come to you send them to me. I should come on Saturday but I must take Physic for my Carcass require assistance. If you have seen Cranch's Letter2 to me about the Comet I by this oppertunity send an Answer. I left 18£ for you: you must get well quick. I think of Nothing else but that I am your pretty little Brother,
