Pimlico 24 Jan. 83
Dear Old Friend

You may remember my Tears of Jan. 20. 1778. They are wiped off. They were made an Article of Scoffing in a Lr. to Lord Chatham published by Almon. My Congratulations on Peace attend you. I thank you again and again for your very kind and ready granting my Request of a Passport for our Labradore Ship and for sending my Lr. to America wrote in your Room at Passy Jan. 1778. which by your Means was of Service in America for the Repose of my Brethren. How many Personal and interesting kindnesses have you not shewn me? I beg you not to fail to let me know, if you come to England on a short visit to your friends, that I may thank you in person once more before we are removed to another Country. Mrs. Hewson was well and her three Children last Monday, but you have had very painful Shaekes, and an Irish Gentleman whom I saw yesterday tells me you was a little lame last Friday. God bless you my old dear kind Friend. Continue to Love me and my Brethren. Ever obliged to you as I am

James Hutton
