Dear Sister
   I am much obliged to you & the rest of the good family at Horton for loving me so much better than you think I do you, for you are all uneasy if I miss writing a post at the same time that you forget to inform me of your healths, this is the fifth [\letter/] I have wrote to Horton from the 25=th= of june to this present second of july which I think exceeds the number of those I have received from you by a considerable ballance. The Dke of Cumberland is gone abroad. Admiral Norris's fleet, Vernon has taken the important [\SIC\] of Chaggrè with a considerable Sum of money so much for Political news. L=d= & L=dy= Oxford & Lady Ferrers dined here to day. the Children are all ill of coughs & little fevers. I desire my Duty to my Pappa & Mamma & here ends in my hast the Laconick Epistle. Ever y=rs= ER
