Wood is about 22 pr cord & 24— I send a bundle of dirty cloathes with this. In the morning I will go to Mr.Moore’s fir & enquire particularly about the Harness–

Please to give my duty to Mama, & book to Samuel.— My Chum offers his respects he is abed & I am very sleepy, I must go to bed, too, relying on my Gardian GOD to preserve me through the night.

I am Sir, with sentiments of Esteem

& Love — your dutiful Son

John Phillips

Hon. Samuel Phillips

P.S. I have enquired, Sir, of Mr. Moore concerning the Harness & he informs me that that there was no [illegible] there beside yours & Mr. John Heard’s of Ipswich who lives about an half of a Mile from the Court house.

He is distiller— Perhaps, Sir, Mr. Smith when he is going that way can carry it in ye Wagn & exchange—it was owing to the carefulness of Mr. More’s Negro—the harnesses were both taken and put in to a place together.

The bell now sings for Mr. Webber’s Lecture.
