We arrived here yesterday Morning about 8 a Clock. I was not in the least incommoded by the Voyage but M. le Veillard and my Grandsons were all very sick upon the Passage, tho’ now recover’d and well.

Capt. Jennings staying here till to morrow Morning, and having heard since my coming here that the ship has sailed from London, I begin to fear it will be impossible for him to return in time with the rest of my Baggage, supposing it to be now at Havre.

I have forwarded your Letter of Credit to Messrs. Thellusson, and ask’d them to give me a Credit here for Fifty Guineas if I should want so much; but as my Stay is like to be very short, I know not yet whether I shall have occassion to make any use of it. I am nevertheless extreamly sensible of the Kindness and Generosity of your Proceeding in that Letter; as well as in every other Point of your very Friendly Entertainment and good Offices at Havre, and the Provision you laid in for us. I can at present only offer in return my thankfull Acknowledgments, requesting that if at any time I can be of any use to you in America, or to any Friend of yours, you would be so good as to command me freely. Be pleased to present my respectful Compliments to good Made. Ruellan. I hope the Children are better.

I write to Mr. Limozin, desiring him to forward my Goods by the Pacquet, in Case the next sails from Havre as has been said, and no Vessel offers sooner that goes directly to Philadelphia. If I remember right, the Regulations of the Pacquets forbid their taking heavy Goods, but I suppose you may be able to obtain Permission for mine, which will be an additional Favour. With great Esteam, &ca.
