* The following note preserved among the Mss. papers of Jonathan, we give as a characteristic of the times.
" Cousin Jonathan Rice, - I know not what my wife's business was to your house to-day, unless it were to get you to buy something considera-
ble for her. Therefore these may give you to understand, that I dont allow of your laying out any money for (her), unless it be for a few pins or papper, or such like things ; so 1 remain your loving friend,
Nov. 18, 1708."
