Chapter LIII: Letter XIX: Dr. Sr

Amond bids me tell you she had yours of the 25th of August, but
she regretes Ashton has not yet met with Sr. Harry S--g. He is yet
in quest of him, and she hops you will both accept of the proffers
that’s made, and soon let your friends know that you doe so. There
is people soon to be sent down in quest, and if it were possible you
could be here, it’s more in your power to manage with respect to the
Garden than any other mortall.... I shall writ all to Duncan and Key,
who will be more fit to advise you, for they seem not to be out of
hope of getting the pardon expected as soon as your answer comes. The
friends here say otherwise, and think H--y is gone to diswade you.
There must be no delay in the case as you regard your interest, but
be directed in the way and manner by Key and Duncan. God preserve and
direct you.

Our friends in the Fleet, I have good reason to think, will be safe,
but those here seem to have bitter things before them.... I am sorry
you have not got all my letters, but Ashton’s is a great consolation
in the midst of different troubles. Your children are well.

Dearest Creatur, let us have your answer soon, for these creatures
will be down in eight or ten days, and what I shall doe, God knows! I
am in great hast at present, but shall be more full next post.

So Dear, Adieu.
