as nothing here could give me greater pleasure than to see you well. You ask me, if I will not think my Self much happier than you are, by living free from such tumults. Did you know truly my Condition, you would not think it to be envied. My mind is in Continual agitation about business, and bating [i.e. leaving aside] my being in good health which I own is a great blessing, I have as little enjoyment of Life as anyone. Most people have real or imaginary Crosses, which are the same in effect. I confess I love Solitude, and hate to be in a Croud, but forever expect to have my choice. Some Friends I had in Barbados used to talk of our retiring Some where out of the busy world, and the most proper place to retire to was proposed to be Bermuda. When you have been there, pray inform me how you think it would do for 3 or 4 Select friends? I imagine you would incline to be of Such a Company.86
