Philadelphia 13 November 1799
I have received your favour of the 9th instant, enclosing [undecipherable: probable reading Ann Watts's?] draft on her father for fifteen dollars; it shall be presented and the result communicated — My letter that accompanies this wrote before it came to hand, shews you that Andrews's business is settled — Examining the Returns received from Detroit finds no acknowledgement of the receipt of Hogshead No 5 forwarded through you in June 1790 — It struck me that you had appropriated some part of the clothing then forwarded and probably this Hogshead was detained on that account — inform me how this fact is — Joseph Wallis's receipt enclosed by mistake is not receipted by you — let it be done and returned immediately —
I am Sir,
your Most Obedient Servant
