[Cover page, address panel, rotated:] To Gen[eral] [undecipherable] / [undecipherable] [Large brace mark] Major General [undecipherable] Cincinnati 14^th April 1799 Dear Sir, Under the same cover with this I have taken the liberty to enclose to you some observations of mine on a Letter from George Nicholas of Kentucky to his friend in Virginia — You will perceive that I have treated you very familiarly, but I am under no apprehension that the purpose will be mistaken. It was a mortification that I could not get them out in proper time, when I had the vanity to suppose they might have done some good farther abroad than Kentucky — the severity of the Weather which disconcerted the Printers on paper was the cause — It will not now miss entirely of effect in the Country for which it was chiefly intended. Be that as it may, it has afforded me an opportunity, which I embrace with great pleasure of assuring you of the great regard with which I am — Dear Sir Your obedient Servant A. J. [undecipherable]
