ſir.

you may Juſtly wonder at my ſo long neglecting
to acknowledge your Liberality to this Indian
Charity School
by my Son, laſt Summer, I have only
to plead the want of a fair opportunity for it.
for tho’ ſeveral preſented I was prevented embracing
them either by their going another way or going
ſooner than I expected without giving me notice
pleaſe ſir to accept the Incloſed Narrative as
a very Small Teſtimonial of my Gratitude & Reſpect
and pleaſe to forward the others to the Gentn to whom
they are directed, with my Hearty Thanks for their
Generoſity on ye Same occaſion, at ye ſame Time
and by the ſame Hand, and pray them to accept
as Excuſe for my not writing them in prticular, the
Hurry of the Bearer who will not allow of it.
The Lord Reward You & them a Thousand
fold, all your, and their Labours of Love for his
Name Sake. pleaſe to accept moſt dutiful and
Reſpectful Salutation and make the Same acceple
to those Gentlemen.
from Hond ſir
 Your obliged & moſt obed.t Hum.le ſerv.t
