My Dear Cousin & Friend

From your suggestions, I have attempted and publish’d an Analysis of the Will of Mr Boylston, which its probable you have seen; but how far I have succeeded in meeting your expectations, (that is, as far as I have gone into it—) you can best determine—any hint or amendment from you on the subject, I shall be greatly obliged to you for

As your opinions have the force of a Commandment I averr’d on no account transgress.—

With my affectionate Remembrances to Mrs Adams I am ever sincerely / my Dear Cousin— / affectionately yours

Ward Nichs Boylston
