I haue resayued your letter of the 24 of Jeun. I reioyes to hear of godes mersy expressed to your plantatyon in genrall and to yow and yowers in the perticuler I thancke yow for your care of my sonn. I hoped his passing by see and then the chang of ayer would haue so changed his weacke body to a more abule body for the performans of that which his years and statuer mought exspect. I haue before now found fault with him for his so bad writeng, but I now impeut it to the weackenes of his Joyentes so as he is not abule to gyed his pen as heartofore. He writ better 4 years past then he doo now. I doo perswad him to put him selff to soum suche exersyes as may infors his sweatteng the which I thincke should be especyally good for him as I now fyend his condecyon I may fear he is to burdensoum to you but by Godes helpe I am verry welling to macke good any thing for his charge as you shall desyer.
