it Convenient Mr. McA will be most
happy to see him at No 40 George Street

[page 2 letter 2]
you will I hope pardon me for Making the request as
I am well aware I have no right so do do —
Our Worthy Good Old Friend Capt Miller is I fear
not long for this World, indeed he is a great Age & what
must be expected, he is very fortunate in having so good a Nurse
for poor Miss Davis's Attention to him is that of a fond Child
to an aged parent, she has poor Woman a very heavy hand
between poor Capt Miller & her Mother, the fatigue Miss Davis
goes thro' might I say is great indeed, she must miss poor William,
Shod you my dear Sir have a wish to ride over to our poor
Capt Miller I shall be very happy to see you at my house &
I will promise you a well aird Bed, poor Capt Miller's
breath is so much affected that he can say very little in Bed, he
was rather better yesterday, I shall have this letter open till
I heard how he is in the Evening, poor William I pitty him
being at such a distance, at the same time think it fortunate
he is with his kind Uncle, I will thank you to favor me with ["a" written above]
and if you come to see poor Capt Miller let me know what day,
I fear the awfull day is not far distant. I am dear Sir
your obliged M Jones
