We arrived here on Sunday Morning about 7 a Clock. I was not in the least incommoded by the Voyage; but my Children and my Friend Mr. le Veillard were very sick.

I have just learnt that our Ship was at Gravesend the 22d. and expected to be in the downs at yesterday, and therefore may be here sooner than was at first propos’d, so that I have now no hopes of the Goods being here in time to go in her. I therefore hereby desire you would forward them to new York in the Pacquet, in Case a Pacquet sails from Havre next Month as has been propos’d and you have no Vessel to sail directly for Philadelphia. The Pacquets are indeed by the original Regulations not allowed to take heavy Goods upon Freight, but I am persuaded Mr. Ruellan will at your Request obtain the Permission. I write to Mr. Grand to pay your Account against me for Disbursements, and Commission, and I desire you besides to accept my thankful Acknowledgements. My best Wishes attend you and your amiable Daughter, being with great Regard, Sir, Your most Obedient and most Humble Servant.
