Dr Sir,

The Count de Moelieus observations on the opposite side were transmitted to you in my letter dated early last month. Not having been favoured with yr. answer, I take the libtertw of transmitting a copy of his sentiments. The Count is anxiously waiting your determination. To what I have said in his favor I can add nothing. He is in my opinion a man of strict honor and integrity, and as such may be confided in. He is also, as far am able to judge a man of good sense. Wishing you many happy new years I am with sentiment of great regard and respect Dear Sir [signature]
