Respected Friend
Thomas Roach
We receivd thy leeter date
that
& of third month Meeting ^my Son
left Kendal in a short time after his
this day
arrival, but we recieved a letter ^that he
was a going to return back to Kendal again.
We wrote a letter a few days ago and
superscribed it to go to harmony but we
received his letter and he requested us
to direct his letters to him at Kendal.
I thought it would be proper to enclose
it in a letter for thee. I wish thee would
see that he does have it.
I will inform thee of have a prospect
of selling soon, and of have some thoughts
of removing on to Kendal this winter
answer
if thee think that it will ^ to move
by sleding. Our esteemed
Friends Joseph and Patience Austing
are well as usual. If my Son should
return to Kendal I should esteem it as a favour
if thee would assist and get him into
business to this country. James Austin I expect
and his family will start for the Ohio next
week I should be plesed to receive a line from thee.
Thy Friend
