In my last I informed you that I had taken measures to gain information respecting M. Marggrander and the other persons enquired after. The enclosed is a copy of letter I have received from our old neighbour Reuben Haines in answer to my enquiries touching Marggrander. With respect to the other I have yet heard nothing.

Give me leave my dear Sir to recommend to your friendly notice and protection Mr. Isaac Norris a son of our old friend Norris. He is young and inexperienced but of a good disposition and with proper care may become a useful member of Society. The last letter I had from him informed me that he was at Leige in Flanders, but that he intended to visit Paris. Should he still be at Leige I would take it as a favour if you would send him a letter to introduce him to proper company and to make his travels useful to himself and to his country. He left home too young and too little informed respecting the affairs of his own country he will therefore stand in need of more advice abroad, and I know none more capable of advising him on whose advice will have more weight with him than yours, as he has a strong desire of being under your patronage. I am with the greatest Esteem and respect Dear Sir Your affectionate old friend and obedient humble Servant

Thine of January 1, 1784 is now before me the Copy came to hand yesterday. Altho I have not answered them sooner I have not neglected to make enquiry respecting Adam Marggrander he was in my employ several years as Bruden and Cooper his time expiring a short time before the British came to this City he went into the Country I believe into Lancaster Country where he lived several years as I am lately informed and that he Inlisted as a Substitute in the Militia and marched into Northumberland County and have never heard of his returning the Communication being cut off by the Snow and impassable Waters has prevented me from making any further enquiry respecting him. From thy assured Friend
