Dear Brother Boston March 10th 1765

I rec:d yours of 12th Curr.tte. which both gives pleasure and Concern
respecting Brother Joseph, the recovery of bodyly health the former, the weak-
ness of his mind the latter, which as his strength increases hope will be
restored to its former State, he may be sure nothing in my power shall be
wanting to render his Life happy, he has the offer of my Lands on his
own terms & he need not fear giving satisfaction, the House will not be
dem.d
