Reverend Friend
Since closing your letter, which I here send you, I reced a letter from our friend M Peixotto, with yours enclosed bearing date 7th May, by which I was glad to hear you were well & hearty. I have long ere this released you of any blame respecting the tuition of my Brother in Law, & Iam almost satisfied that I shall sufficiently satisfy my Father's Son, that the fault lays with the unaccountable eccentricities of my friend Mr P. But it is hard that you should be blamed for this, & rather than an honest declaration, that you should be spoken of in such a way, as to would tend to show that your religious feeling is not of that kind it ought to be. Alas! I know the sting of persicution & sarcasms too ? to swallow all such indigestable matter! You are ? & where my voice can declare it, believe me despite of malice, I will echo the truth, let the result be what it may. I know too well your trouble & labor; I have I believe spoken to you of your several works; in the inclosed letter, therefore have not much more to say—only God speed you in your exertions for our good. I thought the Revd M Nathan had long paid—But I will not omit asking in plain English, for he does not seem to understand hints, it is too bad, But I will ? him 'till he pays. Excuse my detaining you so long for with the amount of your Books, but I could not write before this. God ? you, & give you the desires of your heart for good—is the wish of
your dear Friend
