Dear Sir
I returned yesterday to Kingston from
Vere where I expect a tollerable good Crop & upon
your other Estates which I expect wil exceed any
thing they have hitherto done since their first Settlement.
I received your severall favours this day. As the
Ship sais so soon cannot answer them particularly
yours of the 6th Nove[mbe]r relative to Elizabeth Fickle
is veyr generous in you and Agreeable to her, she
desires the Bond may be given in her own Name
and lodged in the hands of Messrs chandler & Davidson
for which they will send her their acknowledgement
or receipts & she will forward them a power of Attorney
to enable them to receive the Interest. I shall take
care to have a discharge put on record for that part
of your Father's Will. I am Obliged to you for
your kind offer in regard to her sons Education
my Intention was to consult her disposition & parts
& to give him such an Education as he was cappable
to receive & that might enable him to go into some
business. A private School under the case & direction
of people that will take care of his Moralls will be
best. Your advice & assistance when he is of an age
to judge of his disposition & bent will be laying me
under great Obligations. My time will not permit
me to trouble you further then to present my best
respects to Mrs Perrin & Miss Perrin and beleive me
to be with real regard & esteem
Dear Sir
your most Obed[ien]t hum[bl]e Ser[van]t
