[Right margin endorsement: 2[undecipherable] Nov. 1795 / W. J. [undecipherable: Macnay]] [Address, written diagonally:] [undecipherable] G. [undecipherable] — The Hon. H. [undecipherable] c. [undecipherable] Esq^re [undecipherable] at [undecipherable] Philadelphia. [Bottom note:] Will [undecipherable] Wolcott be able to make out a [undecipherable] direct [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable] [H.S.]? I suspect it is impracticable — 2. Nov. 95. My dear Sir, You see I write without answers — as the [undecipherable: Otto] officer, in [undecipherable: Bunbury]'s [undecipherable: Law] Story, thickens, the bottle, and springs the mine, a while the table sleeps or yawns. — Since I wrote pains have been taken to get our people to turn out next Wednesday — as many pains have been used by Eccleston's opponent [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] of Carolina — also in his letters accuse him [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — E. however will outvote him in his own county — & him more votes will be taken [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] were in any one day — You have all [undecipherable] — [undecipherable: Swanwick] got in again. Surely it was badly schemed to set up Mr. E. T. — I have just [undecipherable] and wise to vote not so minute — The temper of the people is much aroused up, on great party principles — Small detail not immediately striking=ly pointed seems too circuitous a way to [undecipherable] feelings at present [undecipherable] — On this county I think I never knew an election so much of [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] E. is about [undecipherable] to about one half the county — is to be [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] year by them in a [undecipherable] election, yet — the [undecipherable] — is one choice is a party question, not a personal matter — this, for a Southern election, is a pleasant feature of the [undecipherable] goodness. It would appear as if the French mean to [undecipherable] their [undecipherable] on neutral rights — to [undecipherable] our election trade — and I suppose I fear that they will try the experiment in U.S. — It is their interest to do it — & if they failed they would but talk of [undecipherable] need[undecipherable] — Gallatin I mean is in! The subject of a postscript to my last about his excel[undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] was in confidence — [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] was more hastily written, under an intention of being sent to Baltimore — but I happened to be too late for the boat. Pray remember me to Mr. Wolcott — I [undecipherable] [undecipherable] write[undecipherable] every — if all else he [undecipherable] of the [undecipherable] — having the open contract [undecipherable] he takes pains to hold up between French and English, and read here with [undecipherable] relish — & [undecipherable] much good. — I am sincerely & resp[undecipherable] Dear [undecipherable] [signature] Should you fall in upon Smith, S.C. pray remember me to him — & the great Harper in Philad. — [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] is the plot of a [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — Phocion's ridicule of [undecipherable] Philadelphia off the [undecipherable] a smile of the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — these [undecipherable] [undecipherable] with people [undecipherable] who are good
