Dear Sam

I hope by this time you have found means, by
dispelling your disorder, to sit at your Ease; a Disorder I
am afraid you derive from your Father, who at your age
had it, at times, to an excrusiating degree, that I shod
be greatly concern'd to find you was ever to experience.
Yesterday, my dear Sam was my Birth Day, when I
enter'd into the Sixty Seventh year of my age, & wish'd
much to have had you with me, together with your
Brother who I engag'd to dine with us. God grant that
you both may pass through Life to the same Period
as comfortably, as I must, with gratitude to my Creator,
acknowledge I have done. in your present condition,
unimmers'd in business, & unincumber'd with Connections
you are free from the Common Inconveniences of Life,
nor can you judge how others are affected by them;
but if, or whenever they shall come upon you, may you
be found equal to them, & then they are nothing.
Life is made up of hopes & Fears, of Comforts & Disappointments
