| Transcript | (2). Eliza. R., 28 July, 1685. Honoured Sir:- Yours l received by Mr Hallet with three books, and am not a little concerned that those now sent to Ashley R were miscarried, for which, l hope it will no offence, to declare my willingness to satisfy; for there is no reason they should be lost to you, and far less that the gift should be reiterated for which l am oblidged [obliged?] to own your debtor. And assure yourself if you have any friends in Virginia, to find me ready to receive your commands. l have wrote to Mr. Wardrope, and beg you would be pleased to order the safe conveyance thereof unto his hands. l would have likewise wrote a line to one Mr. Thomas Barret, a minister who lived in S. (South?) Carolina, who, when he wrote to me from Ashley R., told me that next week was to take shipping for N.E., So that l conclude he is with you. But, if there be no such man in the country, let me [my?] letter be returned. l am yours in the Lord Jesus, ffrancis [Francis?] Makemie. |
