Dear Sir

I am always giving you some trouble
either upon my own Account or that of my
[Co]nnections which you'll readily allow is no
very good Sign of either --- The Inclosed I had to¬
day from my Brother in Law Minister at
Port Patrick Husband to my sister whom
you have seen with Lady Agnew -- It relates
to an only Son & as fine a {illeg} promising
Child before his Innoculation as fever said &
it would be a pity to loss him -- [Tomorrow?]
is the {illeg} night & therefore must beg the
favour of you to look over the letter & Cause
any of the young Gentlemen to write any
little thing which Occurrs to you, so as I
may Immediately give Mr Mackenzie an
Answer for in a Case like the present, no
time is to be lossd -- I am almost ashamed
to offer the Inclosed, it being so very in¬
adequate to the trouble I am giving you,
but the Clergy you know are not rich, which
I hope will be a sufficient Appology --

I am Dear Sir Your
Much obliged humble Servant
