Dear Sir
I did myself the pleasure of writing to you on the 24 Ulto on the Subject of Mrs Roberts's allowance from her husband, which letter, I apprehend has miscarried. I am indeed the more strongly to this belief from the cir-cumstance of its having been sent as far as New York by a private hand, & by him to be put in the post Office. I have therefore thought proper to transmit a Duplicate which is herein enclosed.
I am
Dear Sir
with great Respect
your obed. Servt.
