I retorne you manie thanks for your kynde letter with a sorifull heart for my sisters sicknes The Good lord blesse and sanctifie yt vnto hir. though I should be verie glad of my wives retorne, yet I dare not now call for yt. I haue nought to write but of planting sowing posting rayling etc.

My Cosen Peter is constant to his dayly charge, soe that all his freinds are resolved to leave him to his owne way, yet blessed be God his preaching is verie profitable and comfortable to all. I feare I shalbe disapoynted of 30 bushells of Indian Corne which I relyed on here. I pray let me be soe bold with you as to know if I may be supplyed thence soe with my service to your selfe and my sister with harty prayers for hir health I rest Your assured loving brother
