 I have een your Father who was the Friend and Companion of my Youth; I have een him at the Head of his Freeholders amiable in his Peron, incere in his Friendhip, firm in his Principles, beloved and almot adored by his Country, nobly aerting in the Midt of Ten Thouand Acclamations, this very Caue which now calls o loudly for Help. He was the Delight and Darling of all that knew him. I foree you to be his Heir in that as in his Virtue and Fortune. Tread in his Steps, you will need no other Precept, or Example.

Remember me to my Friends, recommend me to the Continuance of your Affection, and tell them that Old as I am, and wearied out with vainly wihing for better Times, I am yet ready to enter the Lits at their Call, to tand for Liberty and Britain, or fall an honourable Victim to, my Country, and my Friends.
