I received duly the Letters you wrote to me of Oct. 4. 1785 and April 4. 1786. Being much occupy’d, I referr’d the first to Mr. Hopkinson, who I suppose has written to you. This serves to acknowledge the Receipt of the Power of Attorney enabling us to lease the Ground belonging to the Associates, and to assure you that my best Assistance therein shall not be wanting. With great Esteem for the Society, I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant
