| Description | The Doctor is returned to Ross having been at Hereford on Chapter business for some time, during which it happened that horses were sent for Mrs Mary Davies; she went off a little abruptly, and the writer believes, will scarce return to this service again. The Doctor thought fit to ask her some questions beore she went and has taken a great deal of pains to adminsiter wholesome advice to the writer's wife 'and I hope God will give her grace to profit thereby'. Begs his mother not to disturb or impair her own health on his account; 'I won't prescume to say yt I cd have preserved my security or calmness of Temper if I has been suddenly surpriz'd with ye narration of some things, but as I am now by ye Prudent interposition of ye Dr gradually appriz'd of things, I shall venture to assure you that it shall do no violence to my constitution, but yt I shall bear everything as becomes a man and a Chrsitian. And you may depend upon it yt I have not liv'd to these years without satisfying my self yt I lye under no obligation of Discomposeing my self upon acct of ye miscarriage of another whom indeed it is my Duty to endeare and, if possible, to reclaim'.
