Sir,
By yesterday morning’s mail I received two letters, superscribed by you, one addressed to the Rev’d Stephen Peabody, at Atkinson, N. Hampshire, which is inclosed, the other to your son Charles, which I now send to him.
According to your directions, I am preparing the papers and business which I imagine you may think proper to lay before Congress.
I have the honor to be with great respect, Sir, your most obt. Servt.
Timothy Pickering
The President of the U States
