dear Brother

I think my self very Lucky that you happened to Light on my Nibour to send the Flower by for tho you have been Equaly good at all times in sending it we have allways found it very dificult to find it when it came, this is a Courtious obliging man is a Near Nibour came and tould me he had it on Board and sent it up to me without any troble.

I send the Leter also by Him for tho I was tould Major Shaw was going to Philadelphia I hear since he goes no farther than Newyork, yours Affectionatly
