My Dear Brother & Sister

Once more I have call in Providence to write
few lines to you hopeing you are all well in
health of body and prosperity of soul it seems
to me your lot as been cast in the mist
of plenty for the body and I hope A blessing
may attend it to you and yours in particular 

Dr Bror I hope you see something of the end 
anserd [answered] for which you went I mean the pleasure
of the Lord Prospering in your hand & the
salvation of prichous soul. I think in England 
we are highly favourd with good now from far
then what we have at home but But blessed
Be the name of the Lord. I hope that
glorious time draweth nigh when all shall
know the Lord from one end of the world
unto the other - I need not say the peace is
restored between contending nations which was
very suding indeed to all and such joy seem
to fill harts of men that I never saw before
some weep for joy some believed not and multyder-
tudes gather together to hear the news Confirmd 
for many days the first of this news was Oct
th 3 1801. Easter A great day of rejoying which took
great attention it was such A day of rejoying I
never beheld but A lass what is the Joy of the
world. Solomon say it is vanity and so it 
tis I think. Things are very little better at present
But I wish to leave them the Lord time is best
