With humble submission I would ask this one favour of the Doctor (ie) whether I might go to Mohegan to
keep Thanksgiving, if it is any ways consistent with thine affairs, and if it is, I should be glad Sir of thy approbation, But I should rather go farther. because I have received a Letter, in which I was desired to go down there
and pay a short visit to them, but I leave all to the Doctor for to Direct in this affair.
Sir
I am thine
unworthy Servant
