Dr Sir I received a tickett from you just as I was setting out from N. York, and had not then time to answer it: I am sorry it is not now in my power to say any thing certainly on the subject matter of it.

We yesterday had an audience before the Assembly, but have had no answer, neither can we form any conclusions as to what will be the the result of our Embassy.

A bill for paper money, including a right of tendering, is before the Upper house and will be decided on in a day or two; it is said the Council are nearly divided in opinion on this important subject.

I remain with great respect, yr. Affect. frd. and most Obed sert,

Willm. Grayson
