James will have told you how tremendous a
Hurricane he escaped. The morning I reached
London 27th Nov^r it blew such a Hurricane,

I hope dear Mrs. Lucas may be better thank her for
her very kind Letter home. And now, dearest Mother,
praying that the Intelligence which this Letter
brings may excuse its brevity, I will with love to
the Sisters three, and dear William subscribe myself

Your affectionate Son
Edw. Macarthur
