[MS 288]

I am glad to learn that your time is so usefully taken up.
I received by Mr. Crook several letters from Sally
in which she speaks of the kindness of your family to her
and of your mothers giving her much good advice; for which I feel
very thankful. Tho' her letters give me much pleasure,
they also give me much pain, as I discover in them much slight
& contempt of my dear & worthy partner. It appears
she has been accused? to Sally of bad behaviour to the
children, which is most false. Poor thing her mind has been
much hurt by ? letters. ? conduct to the children ? what it has been represented to her

The Queen Charlotte arrived here the 11th inst. and
James Shepherd takes a passage on her, and poor Saml
is left to go by himself in the Active. He sailed today in
that vessel for the Leeward Islands, but we expect she will
return here again before she sails for the colony. I am
glad James is likely to be soon in the ? by going in the Q.
Charlotte, though I am sorry on Saml's account they are not to go together.
James can give you all the information and news you can wish
