Transcription
[fol. 24] To give you some account at present how well the experience of those who have made use of our Engins for making sea-water fresh does justify that opinion you have given of the wholsomenes of water soe prepar’d I have sent you the inlosed printed certificate of severall persons well known in this Citty who have given their Testimony upon their own Tryals. I doe not doubt but I shall receive many more of the like waters in a short time, and since they are all soe many proofs of the goodnes of your Judgm’t and of your intentions to promote the welfare of mankind I cannot but think both these and such others as may be given hereafter will be noe improper present from Sr. Your obliged & humble servant. R. Fitzgerald March ye 11th 1686
