Dear Sir
It is really astonishing that I have not for nearly an Age received a single Line from you —
I trust however [undecipherable] will forgive me for this hint — it is certainly very wicked of me but no more of this —
Mr Hunt who bears this Letter will tell you that the Indians (Shawanese included) are coming in to treat for peace, and indeed every thing Else that is worth hearing from this Quarter —
I have therefore only to add that he bears [undecipherable: Biens] from me a bon you for three hundred Dollars —
if I am extravagant tis on your favour because you have not favoured me with a Statement of my Concerns —
I know your [undecipherable] of Business's [undecipherable] perhaps long you may have Leisure to afford me this Satisfaction —
God bless you and Mr H — and indeed your whole Family and [undecipherable] you as on Heroes in his safe Keeping —
Sincerely yours
W Wayne

Takes the preceding one and that you was to have forwarded them on here, I wish to [undecipherable] I had them and some good pickled Lobsters also —
here is Brandy now; I were [undecipherable] admire very much to drink your health in [undecipherable] Brandy from the [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] cold from the Ice house — me is quite [undecipherable].
In August or Sept I trust I will be moving towards you —
