Mary Doddridge (cousin), Northampton, to Mercy Doddridge, Sr., [Tewkesbury], 21 January 1775. 

Thanks her for her kind and affectionate letter. Mentions that her health and infirmities have grown worse,  but her hearing is better after 15 months, she says, noting that in Heaven there will be no sickness or infirmities. Sends best to Mrs. Humphreys and news about their mutual friends, including Mrs. Churchill.
