Respected Friend
I received thy Wife's letter at Nine partners, but not until Charles Gilbert had set off on his return home. Not having timely directions from thee I therefore brot the papers and money for the interest back with me, which will remain safe in my hands until I see thee, or have thy further orders. I remain with esteem, thy Friend, Robt Abbatt
