[undecipherable] [undecipherable] Boston July 26^th 1796 Gentlemen I did myself the honour to write very heartily to the Board yesterday & to inform them that I purposed to go to Portsmouth to day, but having below [undecipherable] the difficulties had [3] bought of [undecipherable] and a boat being built [undecipherable: before] him I was not ready soon enough for the stage & am therefore obliged to wait until [undecipherable: Tuesday]. I know this will have no ill effect as I have carefully considered that I have no suspicions of the very person not [un]found any [undecipherable] told her & has thrown new nets [undecipherable: a slight] fever, which it made it [undecipherable: necessary] to [undecipherable] for [undecipherable]. Turner being [undecipherable] I have taken his deposition which I enclose together with that of [undecipherable] with the [undecipherable] whom it stopped. From every information I am [undecipherable: induced] strongly to believe that there counterfeits came from the [undecipherable] of New Hampshire July 27. [undecipherable: The first] day I also not [undecipherable] in [undecipherable: town] — I cut after [undecipherable] immediately — her Landlady told that her as [undecipherable: going] to [undecipherable: Providence] or [undecipherable: Rhode Island] perhaps might [undecipherable: yet] get to [undecipherable]. I then [undecipherable: went] on in [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable] who [undecipherable: was returned] without any intelligence of him as her [undecipherable: many become gone] to [undecipherable]. I cut [undecipherable] if [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] of — but my [undecipherable: impression] is that he [undecipherable: was] [undecipherable] from [undecipherable], which has [undecipherable: caused] him [undecipherable] to go to his [undecipherable: cousins] in [undecipherable: New Hampshire] & could not be found. I have the honour to be with your [undecipherable] Gentlemen Your Ob[undecipherable: edient Servant] Jn° [undecipherable] [Non M[undecipherable] Fugitiv[undecipherable]]
