Title	S. Wells letter to Thomas Rotch, 12 October

Full Text	B-207-1 Thursday 12 Oc My Friend Your favours of this morn- ing are only the continuation of that very friendly attention, which has been uniformly exhibited by Charity & yourself to me & my friends. You may rest assured that the repeat- -ed proofs of your affection have made a permanent impression on my he- -art. My health is impaired. the fever which attends me is mild, but I presume will continue some days. Should you send to Farmington tell my Dear friends there, that I am only unwell, not sick. It will give me the greatest satisfaction to hear by the return of your Messenger that Rachel is better. accept my love. T Rotche S Wells
