Daughter Hester Yours I received (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.3)

and have such a Narrative of the Scot from your Mother that I would
have neither of you to have to doe with her at all .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.4)

She said , she is come in among a parcell of beggars :
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.5)

and if so , $'t $is {TEXT:tis} but a thiefe and a beggar come unhappily
among beggars (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.6)

<paren> for her mother was maintained here by public almes </paren> .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.7)

Her imperious pride and falsnes make her incapable of your commerce
with her . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.8)

I hear she did borrow money of Mr. Busbie being lately in London ,
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.9)

if she thinkes I shall pay it , she is deceived . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.10)

Let her get her owne bread by the Sweat of her browes as I have and pay
her own debts . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.11)

Her ill character and carriage hath disobliged me to her for Ever .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.12)

And if service be to mean for her now , <paren> by which she alwayes
lived here </paren> let her hunger for me , (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.13)

I have enough of her already . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.14)

You write of returning your money to Nath. (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.15)

I would have you to have security of him : (JOPINNEY-E3-H,58.16)

<P_59>

for though your mother have trusted much in his handes yet she hath
something left If that should miscarry . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.18)

For Rachel I $can $not {TEXT:cannot} so well advise her nor know in
what Capacity she can enter againe upon the Exchange .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.19)

To doe it contemptibly I would not advise her , (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.20)

but if with Credit I shall not be against it . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.21)

But not to medle with the Scot : (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.22)

I will rather maintaine her <paren> though she hath grieved me </paren>
. (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.23)

I shall not be able to get off here as yet , though I desire to doe it
: (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.24)

if any of you will come to me you shall be Welcome .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.25)

The rescuing of us from the housbreaker is a great providence of God .
(JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.26)

His end was to have ruined us (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.27)

and he had don it ; if I had not strictly written to your mother from
hence that she should send out of the house all my writings Especially
such as concerned the Rogue . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.28)

Had he gotten them <paren> which was his aime </paren> he had don his
purpose : (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.29)

God hath saved us (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.30)

and I hope to no great loss unless the Wast they made on your sister
Hoare . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.31)

Remember me to Rachel . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.32)

God almighty bless and keep you which is the dayly prayer of Your Aged
father Jo. Pinney (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.33)

Cut this off (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.34)

and send it to the Scott sealed up . (JOPINNEY-E3-H,59.35)
