My dearest Lord 



I wrote you a letter last post full of despair, about y° 

 cursed frost, but as thoughtlefs as Jack coul'd be for his 

 soul, forgot to send it, y° frost I thank my Stars is over, 

 so instead of a long, stupid, desponding letter, I will tell you 

 ye contents of it in a very few words. I began with 

 making apologies to y' Grace for not answering y' letter
