Boston Apl. 6, 1764 Bror. Paine,

I obliged to you for yrs: advising of The Service of Scot vs Paine. Be so kind as to give The inclosed for service to some careful officer, & inform me who, as The Sum is large.

I wrote you Some time Since, desiring you wd: enquire of The Officer who Served The Writ (last Octo: I think) Gould vs Nye. The Debt of which I was informed by a Lr. from him He reced: since which have heard Nothing from & have forgot his Name.

I was inoculated The Day before Yesterday & am waiting The expected hour of Difficulty. I wish you well in all Things & am as usual Your Friend & Bror.
