Dear Sir,
(Your letters of the 25, and two of the 28th. Ulto have been duly received — one of them accompanied with a copy of the Treaty with the Western Indians — which I shall retain until my arrival in Philadelphia — Presuming, if no accident happens, that the original will be with you as soon as the copy could reach me to forward it by the Mail of tomorrow.)
In one of your letters of the 25th the proceedings of a meeting at Augusta in Georgia, forwarded by Judge Walton is mentioned as an enclosure — here however came — nor was it material, as you proposed to acknowledge the receipt thereof.
With great esteem and regard
I am — Dear Sir
Yours always!
