Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips In Andover.

Dear Mam, Byfield, June 29, 1765

I with Pleasure inform you that
I am well, hoping that these lines will find
you in the like circumstances. The Boils have
left me. The horse is very quiet, I have been
looking out for Oliver, but am disappointed,
I should have sent home by Jonathan
Gage, the Boy that came with Saml. Osgood,
but he semmed to decline, as he ((illegible))
in the Chair, & I have had no Opportunity
since. I should have brought him home
either last Saturday, or this but I asked you
if Oliver did not come, wheather I should Ride him
home a Saturday, but you Said no, &
that I ned not concern myself any thing about
it. When I was at Home last, I was very
Desirous to have you come Down to Byfield
before. Commencement. if you come Before,
you will hear (what good Judges call) very
Superior Singing, but if you don do not
Please to turn over
