I resevd yours1 by Maior Goreham which gave me an acount that you had lady heard from Mr. Wormley. The last nues I had was in July Last which was quit contary from what you heard. The nues I had was that he denied that he ever had any wife but me. I have resevd no leters from him this 2 year. Sir you Cant imagon the unesenes it gives me to sometimes hear won thing and sumtimes another and not rearly to know how the afear is and as it is in your pour to releve me I earnestly desier you wold goe to Philidelpha and know hoor the afar is whare thare is any profe or not. If I cold sertainly know I am satisfid it is not liveing with out a husband that gives me soo much meseries. I think my self a thousen times haper than those that are obliged to live with a bad man. Pray Mr. Paine take my case in to your sieris and meture considrasion and go. Thare is nowon as I can so intierly depend uppon as your self. I desier you wold not put me of any longer but go this spring with out fale whare thare is any profe or not I will paye you to yor satfacon let it be what it will. Was it in my pour to serve you as it is in your pour to serve me I shuld due it with the gratest plesuer. I desier you wold rit or come and tel me whare you will undertake or not. Pray dont put me of any longer. Let Mr. Smith say what he will or if things appear never so dark or dificolt my desier is that you wold go to Philidelpha. Thar is nothing to be depended uppon by hearsay in my oppion. I shall be very impasint till I know whare you will under take or not. Thare is nobody that can so well go as you can. Thare is nothing to hinder. It is a fine plesent time of the294yeayr to take a iorne. I have nothing nue to rit. Your Frind and humble Serve.
If you shold under take I desier that you wold let me hear before any other person how the afare is.
