Item 625. - John Williams, Downs, to his brother, Mr Edward Williams, Carver, Wells, Summersetshire,

John Williams, Downs, to his brother, Mr Edward Williams, Carver, at Mr Brooks, Carpenter &c. near the Lower Church, Wells, Summersetshire. They are now at anchor in the Downs waiting for a fair wind. A fair prospect of a pleasant passage. His dear wife and Mrs Ann Robbins have been exceedingly sick for two or three days but are now pretty hearty. His own health. He wrote to Father on Thursday last but is afraid he will be so angry at his not coming to see him that he will never forgive him - 'pray Excuse me to him as well as you can'. The addressee's health. His compliments to Mr Wood and the two dear young ladies, and his kind love to Cousin John Davis and family, etc. (Forwarded by EW to Mr Thos Williams At the Golden falcon, Lowther-street, Pontefract, Yorkshire).
