My dear Brother

Last night I arrived in this City in good health. Today I shall read my letters left at Mr DeGeysters Counting House.

I shall stay in N. York perhaps a fortnight or three weeks to get some printing done; after which I shall to go Boston and thence to see my dear friends in Vermont.

I left my dear Daughter at Kingston with her aunts and cousins in that place

She will join me in my visit to Vermont

My spirits are good having preached almost every day since I came from home; all this by the grace of God given unto me thro’ Jesus Christ our Lord

With love to all I am y’r affectionate Brother

Philander
