New Youk, 29xh Octobei:, 1G7"2. WonritT Sip. : -- Since my reception of yours by ^yillianl Shackerly, no opportunity of conveyance to you hath presented from heuce till this present. Alliiough by the way of Boston, I suppose you would sooner receive the sad tidings of your brother's decease -- in Avhom as you have lost an only brother, so have la dear friend; I shall not insist upon many particulars relating thereto; our general letters arriving to you herewith I hope sufficiently inform you ; yet I cannot but reflect upon the transitory condition of poor mortals, when I trcquently call to mind iu how little time God hath been pleased to break a, family, in takingaway the heads thereof ; first, a virtuous young woman in the prime of life, and then a man full of strength and vigor, inured to hardships, of whom there is remaining but one poor blossom, of whom yet there may be great hope with your kind friendship ; for it is a lovely, healthy child, and was well at flarlem, where it is at nurse, and I went to sec it yesterday.
