(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
