[To Col Hull]
[undecipherable: Shipping Sept] 1785
[Copied]
Morris September 29, 1785
Dear Sir
I receiv'd your very friendly epistle of the 8th and am happy in your domestick prosperity & that you are established in so agreeable a manner - if ever I visit your part of the country I shall with the greatest pleasure and pay you a visit and personally acknowledge your & your Ladys kind attentions and friendship.
The business of Genl Putnam's lays in the same situation as you left it, and I have had no satisfactory account of the affairs of [undecipherable] tho I have taken some trouble on the business and have requested Major Lucas to give his evidence on the subject. No [undecipherable] account has also the same objections to it as formerly
Col Hull H. Cort.
