| Description | Dear Father,
I am sensible of your a[n]xiety about my health and cannot excuse my neglect in not having wrote to you oftener; yet there must have been some mistake in the carriage of my letters, for out of four letters it appears you have not received one, but I hope before this you will be relieved from the anxiety of which I am sorry to have been the cause.
I passed three days las[t] week with Mr. Delesserts, who has given me an invitation to spend the Sunday every fortnight with them, but must be guided by you to know if it will be proper to accept it.
I have just inquired of Mr. Genet if there was any particular method to send my letters to England and find that I might have wrote for ever and you had never received them: they must be paid here, which I did not know before, so that now you may rest assured of hearing from me oftener.
I am sorry to be obliged to conclude, but Mr. Bourdon waits to take it the bureau. Give my love to my sister, &c., and believe me to be your dutiful son,
Matthew R. Boulton
