WILLIAM BARTRAM, Sen., TO JOHN BARTRAM. 



Dear Brother : 



I hope you're all in good health, as we enjoy at present, thanks 

 be to the Almighty. I have nothing strange to acquaint you with. 

 I send my son, Bill, by Captain Gulley. I expect he will in- 

 cline to stay with you awhile, to go to school. 



Dear brother, I make bold to trouble you for one favour more, 

 which shall always be acknowledged ; that is, that you and your 

 sons, Isaac and Moses, will take into your care my son Bill ; 

 hoping and not doubting but you'll instruct and advise him for 

 the best, to his advantage and credit. Cousin Billy adviseth me 

 to put my son Bill to school, in Philadelphia, for several reasons 

 assigned ; but I shall leave that to your judgment. If he stayeth 

 in Philadelphia, I have wrote my cousins, Isaac and Moses, to let 

 him live with them. If out of town, beg you'll let him live with 

 you. 



This notion has happened so suddenly, that I am unprovided to 

 send but little with him ; but, whatever charge and trouble you're 

 at, on his account, shall be as soon as possible paid, with many 

 thanks for your care and trouble. 



From your brother, &c. 



William Bartram.
