[Copy of a letter to Cap.t Jef. Freeman at [undecipherable] State of Delaware May 8. 179[undecipherable]]
New York 8 May 1789
Sir
I have received your favor of the 1st instant—
It would [strikethrough: free] afford me real pleasure to have the power of serving you or any other good officer of the late army but few the places at my disposal are entirely full at present. If any occasion should occur in which I could be of service to you consistently with my obligations to the public I should readily embrace it
