On Tuesday, 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the 16th June, 1772, God was pleased to give me a son. It cost its mother dear and brought her to the very Gates of Death: but God stepp’d in and spared. Heaven grant B may live to recompense the tender Mother for what she suffered for him, and prove the Son of Comfort and rejoicing to us both.
