Perth Amboy 5 Aug 1793. Dear Sir In my letter of the 3^d I intended to enclose the Annexed Copy of M^r Sec^y Hoddert's to me of the 13 of June last past. I made it out Merely to show You, how different the President has decided the Transfer of Talbots, to the Communication of the Minister of the Navy, to me on that Subject: and that my Resignation is not only fully Justified, but that it was unavoidable. I have the honor to be Sir with great Respect & esteem — Your much injured and much Mortified — Humble Servant Thomas Mifflin [address panel:] H. E^t Hon. James McHenry E^sq [undecipherable]
