Sir War Office June 26. 1795.
Mr John D. Cox handed me the inclosed letter this morning, with an earnest request that I would forward it to you in the way most likely to ensure its safe arrival. He told me it was from your daughter, whose situation rendered her [strikethrough: anxious] in the extreme that it might get speedily to your hands.

Your most obt. Servt.
