Boston July 16 1757 Sr.,

I wrote you by Capt. Jones wch. I conclude you have recd. I purpose this by Capt. Jenkins. I have nothing very perticular to inform you off, but have got such a habit of writing by Jones & Jenkings that I can't avoid it. I pray you to take perticular care of Knox & Leigh's affairs & not let me loose them. Write me by Capt. Jones if you have done any thing for me. I shall Administer on my Father Estate being his Executor & expect soon to send you a power to act for me there. Co. Hill has been in goal some time but tells me he hopes to be able soon to pay that note. Yrs.,
