I received at the same time your several Letters of Oct. 20, 24 & Novr 26. which I purpose to answer fully by the return of the Alliance. Having just had a very short Notice of the Departure of this Ship, I can only at present mention the great Pleasure your Appointment gives me, and my Intention of Corresponding with you regularly and frequently as you desire. The Information contained in your Letter is full and clear; I shall endeavour that mine of the State of Affairs here may be as satisfactory.

With great Esteem, I have the honour to be, Sir Your most obedt. & most humble Servant.
