We are alive yet, and well, for which we
thank God. We return our
sincere Thanks for sending such pleasant
News to us; which we have for a long Time
desired to hear. We wrote last
Fall to some of our Brothers, but have had no Return, 'till now.
The hearing this joyful News, appears to us, as thus we saw you face
to face.
We again return our most
[illegible][guess: hearty] hearty Thanks.
We are Constantly
labouring in the Word of God, as you are.
We can't but again return you our best
Thanks, y

of us, as to be still making Provision for y
e Welfare of our Souls.

We are thankful to hear we are not
alone in y
e great work of
God, but that there are others, who labour for, & rejoice with us
in y
e Welfare of Souls.—

Affairs forbid my coming.
Our Men are all abroad,— Many Things are committed to
my Charge.—

engaged.
we know not what will be y
e event. perhaps in my Absence our Women
may be all killed, & our houses burnt down. But as soon as Peace &
Quietneſs are proclaim'd in these our Borders, I shall gladly comply
with your Desire.— our
Boys are all out— we dont yet know who
will come.—
