May ye 2d.
Mr. John Easton, a man of some note in the Providence
Plantations, having occasion to visit Boston yesterday,
brought me a message from my Brother, to the
effect that he was now married and settled, and did
greatlie desire me to make the Journey to his House
in the companie of his friend, John Easton, and his
Wife's Sister. I feared to break the matter to my
Uncle, but Rebecca hath done so for me, and he hath,
to my great Joy consented thereto; for, indeed, he
refuseth nothing to her. My Aunt fears for me, that I
shall suffer from the cold, as the weather is by no means
settled, although the Season is forward, as compared
with the last; but I shall take good care as to clothing;
and John Easton saith we shall be but two nights on
the way.
