joins with me in requesting a visit, as soon as may consist
with convenience. If it should happen to be inconvenient
next week, we shall write to you again, as soon as we can fix
a time for settling some affairs between you and my dear ;
and you'll have less fatigue if you give us the meeting at
Evesham, and allow yourself time to return hither with us,
that we may enjoy your company a while. I bless God we
are both in good health, and desire you w* assist us with your
prayei's, that God would vouchsafe his blessing to us in our
new I'elation, and grant us his presence and favor in all our
motions. May the good Sp' of God rest upon you, and the
blessing of God attend you in all your studies and labors. I
remain, with all due resp', T>\ Bro'', your affectionate Bro' and
humble servt.,

My service to Mr Cole, whose prayers I request, and to
his spouse, with all fr""^ there.
Dear Bro.,
I could not be easy without adding two or three words to
excuse for not answering 3'our kind letter sooner. I began
more y" once to write, but being so thoughtfull about entering
into this new relation, it much disordered me ; but I bless
God am better, and hope it will be to all our satisfaction, if
God afford his blessing. If you dont come soon, give us a
line. I wish for your company to Dublin. Shall say more
when I see you. I am your affectionate sister,
Han. Alexander.
Service to y^ family.
