Dear Sir.

I have received your Favour accom:
panyed by the Parcels of Goods for the use of
Col^o. Philip Johnson's Estate & thank you for
your early Attention to that Concern. I have
also received your last Favour by D^r. Clements
who did me Favour to dine with us yesterday; I
think him a very promising young Gentleman,
& shall take great Pleasure in shewing him every
Civility, which my Friend's Recommendation
justly entitles him to, Your Son was very well
two Days ago & I suppose you will hear from
him by Capⁿ. Lilly. Nothing new having occur'd
since I last did myself the Pleasure of writing
to you, I shall not add, but that I remain,
as always, D^r. Sir,

Y^r. aff^te. Friend & Ser^t.
Ro. C. Nicholas
