and in other places;* which I hope you may<br />

entreat this favor of you, because it hath not<br />

Lord Jesus. Thus commending my love to<br />

for your kindness to me and my son, when we<br />

were last with you at your house, beseeching<br />

the Lord to bless you and all yours : not know-<br />

I rest, your loving cousin, in him who<br />

is love and truth. " SAMUELWIIITING.<br />

spects to yourself and wife."<br />
