I arrived here last Evening, and this morning recd. your Favor of the 13th. Instant,1 together with the Packets mentioned in it, and which I am glad were sent on; there being among them some Dispatches of a public Nature which are interesting. I had hoped that you and our little ones would have escaped the Influenza; and feel no little anxiety at learning that has not been the case. The Day after Tomorrow if the weather be fair, I shall leave this Place for Boston— no avoidable Delays shall detain me from You; but considering the Distance, & that the same Horses are to perform the whole Distance ^Journey^, I shall be obliged to travel moderately— It would give me great Pleasure to recieve a Letter from you, informing me that your Health & that of our little boy is reestablished; but as I shall be on the Road before the next Post will arrive here, it is uncertain when and where your Letter will come to my Hands. By the middle of June, allowing for bad weather &ca.: I expect to be with You— as yet I continue well, tho I have travelled in some very disagreable Days— The whole Country has been sick, and indeed is much so yet. I waited on Mrs. Langdon2 this Morning, & shall take Tea with her this afternoon— she is well and enquired very particularly about you & the children. Her Daughter complains, & there is some Reason to fear that the prevailing Disorder is about making her a Visit— When you see Mr Dalton3 make my Compts. to him & thank him for his Politeness— Adieu my dear Sally yours very aff[ectiona]ty.
