Summary
Regretting that he did not meet Lieutenant [Benjamin or Thomas?] Sydenham before he left England; explaining that he does not know what is "passing in politicks" because he has not been in London "for more than a day or two at a time since the meeting of Parliament"; reporting that he has finished his planting for the season, and his "spring-corn is all, or nearly all, in the ground."
