My Dearly beloved Son

Enclosed you will receive a short Letter to my friend the Rev^d G. Burder in order to sanction your draft on me for such Sums you may receive from the Missionary Fund, which you had better take care of with your letter of Credit and present them both together to Mr. Burder.

I have also enclosed to your care, all my letters to England, and such as are for Coventry or London that I could, I have left unsealed that you may seal them yourself. Admiral Hunters I was forced to seal, and if you should be forced to post it in the Port, you had better call upon him at No 4, Chester place, Lambeth, and inform him of the circumstance. The leather packet I think has some sealed letters in, this and Admiral Hunters are the only two that are sealed or wafered all the others you can take care of and seal them when you get into London before delivery.

I have mentoned in the Coventry letter that if you can possibly spare the money, you will give the following Sums to our undermentioned relations Viz^t to Sister Susannah Hancox .√.... £5.. ... .. ...
