Scituate Sepr. 21. 1759 Dr. Sir,

I had a few Words with your Land Bank Antagonist Mr. Jacob1 who says he shall be up at Boston soon & will wait upon you & do the thing that's Right. If you have any thing new or entertaining to communicate which may promote Risibility or have a beneficial Influence upon the Animal Spirits, pray let's have it. Yr. Friend till Death.

WM. CUSHING
