Your mistaking shall not be imputed unto you (for the difference is not much). Your gratulations for my marriage I take kindly; and as I was always delighted with the fruits of your invention, so I would be glad of your imitation, so as you plant not yourself too far off, for I had rather you should be a labourer than a plant in that State. You give me no occasion to write longer, in that you imparted not by our letter any occurrences of yours.
And so with my very loving commendations, I remain
Your assured friend,
