Dear Brother & Sister
	I saw Mrs Quickfall at Swallow a few days back, they are all well, she desired I would call on Mr William Frith of Great Grimsby, his wife being the Administratrix of the late Thomas Quickfall. I have sent you from his Attorney what follows, that is Kendall & Wife to send a power of Attorney to receive the money £81.19. 8 & to give a Receipt for same being his wife’s distributive share of the Effects of Thomas Quickfall late of Brocklesby in the County of Lincoln & House Steward of the Right Hon. Lord Yarborough Batchelor deceased Intestate the late Administratrix is Mary Frith the wife of William frith the neice [sic] and one of the persons entitled in distribution to the personal estate & Effects of the said Thomas Quickfall—
	The Execution of the Power of Attorney must be duly attested by the Governor & some other respectable people to prove that MrsKendall is alive as you understand giving the Power of Attorney. I need say nothing about it only let it have plenty of Witnesses that it cannot be objected when it comes to Great Grimsby.
	I rec[eive]d yours dated Dec 6th 1816 I am glad to hear that you are in good health, & lives in plenty & is satisfy’d in your minds but the ever blessed & adoreable [sic] Jesus can make His Creatures happy [f] be they wherever they may and if we never meet again in this world I trust & hope we shall join in singing Redeeming Love through an endless eternity. We are all well join in love to you and all yours and may God bless us all with the knowledge of His truth here and in the world to come with life everlasting
I am, your affectionate Brother
