apply to Mr Beamire Stationer the Corner of Northumberland

Street in the Strand to supply you with one upon my credit

and I will pay for it - and make choice of such a one

as you shall like best: I imagine it may be convenient

for you, to have a Partition in it to lock up, the key

of w. h you may hang to watch Chain -

I have left a small Pocket Knife & Fork with Farr

for you, w. h I am apt to think may be of Use to you

in your Rambles, where such sort of Convenience may

not always be at hand to a Traveller.

Adieu my dear Sam, with my Love to you

Brother I am

Your truly affect te brother

Your mother wishes you well. tho' she did not care

to have any hand in your making away with yourself.
