Dear ſr,
I underſtand that You said I might
Stay at Charlestown till Next spring; I am bound
to except it a token of Friend-ſhip that You allow so
long time to Visit my Nation. But this wou'd be
a much longer Visit than I've a mind to make at
present; I shall return home about Thanksgiving,
if it be agreeable to your mind.
I am in a state of Helth through ye goodneſs of God,
and hope You are in Helth also.
from yr most obedient humble Servant.
Mary Secutor
