Rev.d & Hon.d Sir
I now with Pleasure set down to congra‐
tulate my self, and shall imploy myself in writing theſe
Following Lines. and I would inform you in the first
Place that I am in good state of health, nor I never felt so
hearty sence I came to Live with M.r Wheelock hoping you
are the same, I dont mean sence you came to Live with
M.r Wheelock. And also I wou[gap: tear][guess: l]d beg Leave of you to Let me go
and Visit my Friend at Mohegan and from thence to Lime
that is About Six miles beyond New London, Now as soon As
Poſsible before the vacancey is up, it may be by that means my
mignd will may be Loosend from home. for they Expect to see me
there some Time this Fall and they deſire'd me to come.
I told, em, I should come if I could get Leave, and Nothing
would Happen more then Common. but I must conclude.
Thus have I said.
Yours in reality
Joseph Woolley.
