I had the honor to furnish your Excellency a small Account, I think it was in the year 1781, of some articles shipped by your orders for Mr. Richd Bache of Philada. In the Letter which accompany’d the Account I mention’d my intentions of drawing for the amount, which however never was done; Your Excellency will oblige me greatly by ordering said Account to be look’d for, and if it has been found free of Errors, I beg that you will send me an order on your Banker for the amount. I mean to depart for L’Orient on Saturday morning, for which place if you have any orders I shall be happy to execute them. I have the honor to remain with great respect Sir Your most humble Servant.
