Brother the cause of my writeing to you is this, I heard not from you a greate while until mr Richard Wright brought me newes that you were well, but he could tell me nothing concerning my children weh is a great griefe unto mee. The parting from them was a great griefe unto mee wch brought me neere unto death but the Lord in mercy raised me up againe, blessed be the Lord for his mercie unto mee, But since mr Wright came over & can tell me no newes from them, wch is a great griefe unto mee, & I am afraid that they are not well because it pleased God to take away my Brother out of this world before they were able to helpe themselves. wch makes mee the more fearefull that that they be not so looked unto as if it had pleased Almighty God that hee had lived, for then he would have beene a father to them by his pmise unto mee. Yet if they be wth any of his friends I hope they will use them well for his sake. Brother my love remembered unto Mrs Alcock & her children hoping in God that they are in good health the Lord revive his mercie unto them. And brother my earnest desire is that you would be pleased to doe so much for mee as to send mee a tre from you of them, & who they be wth, & what trade they be, I should be very glad to see you or them if it might please God that it might be soe; if not, I must be content as well as God will give mee leave. The Lord in mercie to blesse us all & give us all grace to serve him as we ought to doe,
