I have been force to do things when I have not been able many times Indeed Sir if you did know in everything what I have gone through in every thing ill nature by his Friends and Troubles in my Family innumerable and no body to comfort me but God alone you I am sure would Pity me very much and think no body could have gone through it but to give a full account [of it] in a Letter would be to Troublesome but [no one] as been in his [geaity?] I have been at work till [one] sometimes too or three aclock no hour has been Exempt both Early and late from nights at work and cried many a time to think I could not attain my Desires so as I would having so good a Friend and our Farmers wifes have blamed me very much for slaving myself so much and many times has caused my ill health but within this quarter of a year I have found more goodness to me and Industry in his Buisness than ever I have since we was married and I hope he now will continue it as he Promises so faithfully never to be Dilatory in his Buisness again and as for my Part Nothing Shall be wanting in me so far as my health will allow and tho it is the winters season the worse for trade yet we will strive to the uttmost of our Power for since we came from London I took courage and would take the chiefest care in the household affairs and I found my comforts seemed to appear apace till this thing Broke out which as you are so very kind to undertake and aid us out of it I hope with Gods Blessing to see more Comfort than what I have seen.
