I suffered vastly in my head to day I cannot bear the sight of the Sun. In other respects I am tolerably well, before Sun rise and about Sun set I am able to see into all necessary duties, and regulate all busyness on Shore. It gives me peculiar satisfaction to see my Plants thriving. I have now once more with unnearied [unharried?] Zeal and attention procured that great and valuable object, and hop God will grant my endeavours to be crowned with success.
