I had the pleasure of writing you a day or two ago by the She-lala Capt. Holmes, on board of whom I have put 2 Barrels of Pippins & one large Barrel of Nuts, I also sent you the 2d. Sets of your Interest Bills; I now inclose you the third. We are just informed that Capt. Smith in the Kensington is arrived at Boston, having been chased in there, by a Frigate, the next Post will bring his Letters, when I hope to hear from you— Sally & the Children are well, they join me in Love & Duty— I am Dear & Hond. Sir Your affectionate Son
