Dear Sir

We have done worthily is sending home
two of your Salem Scholars who I hope came
safe to hand (in the mercantile state). The rest of
the business was shamefully done. I have {entered}
my written protest in form.

Mr. Hilliard is the be installed on the 27th
instant in the afternoon. You must dine with
me on that day. As it will be vacation I hope
we shall not get our heads broke.

Yours Sincerely

James Winthorp

Mr Bentley
