From John Wheelock (unpublished)
St James’ Street No 40 London 17 July 1783
Sir,

I wrote to your Excellency from the Hague, requesting a letter to Dr Price, and the favor to be informed, whether any thing had appeared in the circle of your acquaintances conducive to the furtherance of the object of my attention. But likely my letter has not reached you, as I have heard nothing since.

I beg, Sir, the honor to be informed whether or no, in your opinion, any thing can be done to effect in any part of His Christian Majestys dominions. A complian[c]e, so soon as you might think it convenient, would be very obliging, as we shall not stay long in this country, unless something should turn up more favorable to Success than now appears. I am with the greatest respect, Sir, your Excellencys most obedient and very humble servant
