Brother
I am exceeding glad that you received our Letter, and am glad to hear that you received it gladly; we
likewise received yours with Joy
I have often wrote letters to my Brethren, the English, to which I never received any answer; whether they were lost by the Way, or what the
occasion was that I received no answer I know not: but now I rejoice that I have received an answer, and hear that our Letter [gap: stain][guess: h]as arrived
safely. I am likewise glad to hear that you have sent an account of our desire to
England
The great Men have now been together and I have told to them the whole of the Letter that
you sent to us
Brother I send my hearty Love to you, and to the
Ministers, and to our other Brethren that assist them
give my Service to the King
I remain
your Brother
Isaac
