My dear Henry
I send you by this days coach your watch – which I hope will be of use to you, & sometimes put you in mind of a Friend who loves you most tenderly – It goes perfectly well – you may send me back the other packed carefully in the same box which carries your new one. I will write you a longer letter in a day or two & in the mean while am
Yr aff
