Since I wrote you last I have been in some measure relieved from my anxiety [[strikethrough]]from[[/strikethrough]] by a Letter from England by which I find Mrs. Copley with three of my little ones are in that place safely arrived, this increases greatly my impatience to be on my Journey back, She writes the most deplorable account of the [[confution??]] of Boston [[& ?]] indeed the whole Province that you can [[Immagine ?]][[consiquential]] on Civil War, but as I have many near & Valuable Friends in that place I am still exceedingly distressed, I was in hopes you would [[procure ?]] for me a Newspaper that I may know what the world did & [[talked?]] [[of?]] for in this place nothing is to be learned of the proceeding of the rest of Mankind no more than the living are acquainted with the proceeding & manner of passing the time among the Dead[.] I am Dear Sir
Your Sincere Friend
& Humble Sev't
John Singleton Copley

P.S. It is my oppinion                 
that my Copy will take me               
one month from this time
to finish it, but you shall 
hear from me if you Desire it
when I am farther advanced.
