My Dear Richard [Bayly Buck]
Mr Raye very kindly offers to be
the bearer of a little box of Peaches
Be sure to offer him some--How I wish
we had some way of sending you a quantity
Did Mr Petty get through safely with your
Boots and any part of their contents?
If so, please thank him--Send up Books
Bonny & Co--I will attend to what you request about
the gloves--Will try to write to you before I go to
Clark on Monday
[In margin on address side of sheet]
Walter's Co has
gone to Romney
again--He has
not written.
Our Militia are
now near HFerry
& are having some
skirmishes --Write
tomorrow & frequently
Very Affectionately
M.B.B.
