Merchant Newcastle upon
Tine,
Sir,
Being sensible that it will give you pleasure to hear
of my welfare, I have just set down to acquit myself of a
Promise I made you at Parting, vizt The writing you a
Letter from this Place, promising however that the narrow
Compass of one small Sheet will give you but a slender
Idea of what I have heard, seen and felt; since that
time every thing has been so new to me, and I have
so many things to say that for the present you must
be content with a very scanty abridgement of the whole,
perhaps the time may come when I may afford you
a better information
From the Receipt of my Mother's Letter in December

Letters had reached England, and that consequently

in something less than Seven days. Since that time
in the Course of the Summer several other English
People have arrived and with us that went from
Newcastle, & those there before makes our Number,
