{"value"=>"Is happy to hear of his brother's recovery; the ship that will carry this letter should have sailed two months ago but for the death of Capt. Cant; Mr. Perry has promised a bill of loading for the watch, and also the prints and maps, which it is hoped will give satisfaction; his affairs go slowly because of the Rebellion in Scotland where his patron the Duke of Argyle is in command; is sorry for the bad feeling between the Governor and the House of Burgesses; has paid the most pressing debts due from Col. Parke; is grateful for the care taken in shipping his tobacco; the trade is not so good owing to public sales by Mr. Higgison and others; if Mr. Custis has the courage to take another wife, hopes he will be more fortunate in his selection."}
