I am such a good gardener that you must pay me almost all the riches of the mines of Peru. I hope you liked that picture that I was so good as to send you. I had a dulcis ride on moses yesterday, who sends his compts pray kiss all your party and tell Papa his little pigs are grunting for him to give them pudings,

Your affectionate

frater Samuel
