Sir
Philada March 2d 1784
Yesterday I received your favour of the 26th Ulto — having punctually complied with my engagement in sending the Chest and portmanteau to Mr Hollingsworth, you will judge of my surprize when informed they had not come to hand — I immediately wrote to him, and in return received the inclosed, which fully accounts for this disappointment and which I trust will free me from all blame. ——
