I would have youe go to master Grover and ask him the German Doctoure [who] cured the swelling on his throat. perhaps the same may help youe If youe die before me yout ought to leave me something to live on for Reasons youe and I know for whatt I have wasts fast. I cannott work.
The peice of Gold is as much mine as the coatt on my back for my Sister bought itt Dear of Jonathan and bought itt againe for 17 Shill and Six pence new money from Sister Elizabeth Jongs [?] mother. for Sister mary did give it to nephew John when she died. there is a woman in west Jersey thatt has had such a cough 40 years and yett alive. which makes me think I may live a gratt whille for itt purges me
