[M^r McHenry mailed [undecipherable] industry industries] [Vide queries] [15 Jan 1799] [19 feb 1800] [E. Raphel] Trenton 15 Sep^r 1799. Dear Sir, I received by yesterdays mail, your letter dated Baltimore the [undecipherable] last. It would have been very grateful to my sensibility, to have heard that you had found upon your Farm in Harford County, those comforts which might have consoled you in some measure, in your mind during the Storm which has agitated so great a portion of the civilized world. I hope however, that the future will make you amends for the past, and that you will soon be enabled to present better prospects to your family. You may assure Madam Raphel of my esteem and the pleasure it will always afford me to be serviceable to her. Inclosed is a passport signed by the Secretary of State which I hope will answer your expectations. I have the honor to be Your Ob^t S^t James McHenry E Raphel Esq^r
