Sir!

I have the honor to forward herewith sundry Letters which I receiv'd under cover from Robert Morris Esqr. with orders to send them by a special Messanger, for which you would pay the expence.— The person whom I charge with these dispatches may be depended on,— therefore if your Excellency has occasion to forward any dispatches of Consequence by the Delaware or Anne, both bound to Philada. I think you had best intrust them to his care.

I have the honor to remain wth. great respect.— Sir Your most hble Servt:

Jonatn: Nesbitt
