Philad.a March 2d 1784 [flourish]

Sir

Yesterday I received your favour of the 26.th Dec.__having punctu=ally complied with any engagement in sending the Chest and portmanteau to M.r Hollingsworth, you will judge of my surprise when informed they had not come to hand__I immediately wrote to him, and in return received the inclosed which fully accounts for this disappointment and which I trust will free one from all blame________ S.H

Captain Carlisle
