John Sutcliff, Olney, to John Rippon, London, 8 May [1804].

Dear Brother,

         I recd the parcels safe from New York. For your care I thank you. Any expenses due, I’ll defray. It contained No 13 of the Theol. Mag. Another parcel, containing No 12, is not come to hand. Fear it is lost, as well as one before. Any parcels left for me at Mr Button’s generally would soon find its way. I want to send a pretty large parcel to New York, but dare not. If any Vessel, of the safe arrival of, which there was a good probability ^should sail,^ I should like to send. I rest,

                     Yrs cordially,

                                 John Sutcliff

Olney. 8th May.
