[Private] Philadelphia 20th May 1792
My dear Sir
Having yesterday received General Brooks's non acceptance, I hoped at the same time to have received your acceptance, and that you were about to set out in pursuance of my private letter to you of the 3d instant.
In consequence of the conference with you, I have ventured to assure the President that you would certainly accept which affords him great satisfaction.
I may you therefore if you should not have set off before
