May I flatter myself that you will
favour me with whether, when you have
time I was in hopes we should have
but once ? but if we are deprived
of that favour may we say dear friend
after ? at the throne of Grace
and then called from ? May we
but to part as ? I often think of
the finest hours we have spent together
Accept my thanks for the book and the
tracts you were so kind as to send.
Aunt Sally was here to day and desires
I should give her best and kind regards
you must ensure this horrid severe ?
is very ? ? desires her …. And ? sending
to you soon
Believe me to remain
My dear friend
Yours sincerely
