Sir.

I am always willing to submit my Judgement to yours and will therefore deliver the Trunk containing the late Mr. Thomas Morris’s papers seal’d up as it is, to you, in the manner you mention. For this purpose I will wait on you at 11 o Clock on Wednesday Morning next if agreeable.

I have just recd. a letter which appears to me of much importance to get with expedition to America, therefore wish to know if you think it probable the post on Wednesday will be in time to reach Mr. Deane and to whom I can direct there for him. I have the Honour to be with the greatest Respect, Sir Your most Obedient and most Humble Servant
