      The Bearer is my neighbour Yeates son who I am sure will please you, and if you had sought England thro’ you could not have had one Fitter for your purpose, so another year you’ll be satisfied he deserves much better wages,

      Lett me know when You are best provided with sugars spices & Fruit, and shall send for as much as will serve me a whole Twelve Month, I have so great an opinion of the Bearer that I promised his Father you should bear his charges to London, my service to Mr Primate & your partner with my Blessing to your selfe

      I am Your most Affect[ionate] father
