Since I had the honor of writing to you in November last, I have been favoured with your letters of the 23d of June in the last, and 23d of Jany in the present year. The first was handed to me by Doctr Baynham, and the other by Mr James Bloxham. Your conjectures respecting the fate of our letters, are, I am persuaded, too well founded.

I wish it was in my power to acquaint you that the time was fixed, and that we had taken our passage for our return to dear Virginia.
