My Dearly beloved Son

Enclosed you will receive a short Letter to
my friend the Rev^d G. Burder in order to sanction your
draft on me for such Sums you may receive from the
Missionary Fund, which you had better take care of with
your letter of Credit and present them both together to
Mr. Burder.

I have also enclosed to your care, all my letters
to England, and such as are for Coventry or London that
I could, I have left unsealed that you may seal them
yourself. Admiral Hunters I was forced to seal, and if
you should be forced to post it in the Port, you had better
call upon him at No 4, Chester place, Lambeth, and inform
him of the circumstance. The leather packet I think has
some sealed letters in, this and Admiral Hunters are
the only two that are sealed or wafered all the others you
can take care of and seal them when you get into London
before delivery.

I have mentoned in the Coventry letter that if
you can possibly spare the money, you will give
the following Sums to our undermentioned relations
