William Carey, Serampore, to his son, Jonathan Carey, 26 May 1818.  

My dear Jonathan

        As I have had so many reported attacks of disease, &c which have much weakened my constitution I have come to the resolution of relinquishing preaching on Tuesday Evenings – I shall therefore return to day by day light. I send you a note from Felix.  I am tolerably well.

                                 Your very affecte Father

                                             W Carey

26. May 1818
