In answer to your Favor of the 17th. June by Colonel Harmer, I wrote you under date of the 28th. Ulto. Via L’Orient. This, with a bundle of Newspapers, I commit to the care of Monsieur DeSilly, a Gentleman you introduced to me some time ago, and who appears to be a very clever Fellow; He has seen a good deal of our Country, and now returns to France, with a wish and expectation of obtaining leave to bring his Family over to this Country, as his determination is to settle here, if possible, he desires me to request of you to interest yourself in his behalf, in forwarding his plan, and as I apprehend he will be an acquisition to any young Country, I feel myself much interested in his success.

Sally and the Children are still in the Country, but as the weather begins to grow cool, I mean to move them into Town in a few days; they are well and join in Love and Duty with Dear sir Your ever affectionate Son
