Hull Dec 7th 1808

Dear Madam

I have the pleasure to inform you
that I arrived safe in Hull on Sunday morning
and found Mrs M. and the children well and this
afternoon Mrs M. was brought to bed of a daughter -
both her and the child thro mercy are likely to
do well. It was a great satisfaction to her, that
I was so forunate to be with her at Home at the
time. The Lord orders all things well. He
suffers us to be tried to shew us how weak & foolish
we are; and afterwards rewards us with kind loving
mercy with respect to myself: tho my passage has not
been very smooth thro life; yet I do not see one single
circumstance that has befallen me at any time, that
I could justify the smallest murmer against the Lord's
conduct. "Goodness and mercy have followed me all of
my days." I have had a great share of human happiness,
and comfort when much ? falls ?
of mankind in general. I think I may say with ?
that I feel satisfied with all God's dealings with me
