- Scope and content:
-
I received a letter from Natty (Nathaniel Tucker), saying he intends to spend the winter at Edinburgh. If nothing engages his stay in England, will be here the end of the summer. I was confined to my house for nearly two months with a fit of rheumatism in my hip. There are thousands in the island that have not a morsel of bread. The Governor after repeated application from the council and assembly, granted certificates for vessels to go anywhere in quest of provisions. We have heard that one fo those vessels has been taken and carried to New York and condemned. No regard for the Governor's permission. Your sister, Fanny, lost her last child. Your town sister Fanny is ready to lie down with another child which will make half a dozen.
