I take the liberty to inclose a letter from my friend Charles Eddy late of Philadelphia but now of Dublin respecting which I doubt not thy doing what shall be proper and expedient and if his request appears so to thee thou wilt be so kind to Comply therewith.

I congratulate thee on the peace which I hope will be permanent and mutually beneficial to both Countries and that we shall have the pleasure of seeing thee hear wherein I promise myself great satisfaction.

I understand my friend David Barclay wrote thee on the subject of Tim Matlacks affair and received an agreable answer. I could not entertain a doubt of the justice of your government in the business.

I shall esteem a letter from thee a favour and hearing of they welfare always affords me pleasure being with great Esteem Thy very respectful Friend
