Dr. Brother:
You have herewith that which I promised Dr. Sister Rachael last night but forgot to hand it her:
My heart follows you as you go from me and offers almost continually a devout wish for your preservation and speed.
May you find all your dear connexions [sic] well: and may the blessings of Heaven rest up you to them and all who ever think of your unworthy Brother P. Chase
