Adieu my valued Friend. – Say every thing kind for me to your good Lady. –
May you long enjoy that happineƒs, the Almighty, in his wisdom, has thought
proper to retire from me, is the fervent Prayer of
                Your most Affectionate Fri^d
                            W^m Kent

P.S.
          Offer my best Compliments to Meƒs^rs Brown and Bawer.[sic] – Is our
poor friend Waterhouse still living? or has pernicious Grog washed him to
death? – What a failing! –
