The Bearer, Capn Hodgson, wishes to be known to your Excellency, & may want some assistance, in his way to America—

He will explain his Situation particularly Capn. Grenel, who comes with him, also merits any aid & civility that can be due to our best Friends.

Give me leave to request, once more, that the Comn. for a Letter of Marque may be sent by the first post— I have waited with impatience, but no such thing has yet been sent to Mr Du Maa, as was proposed—

Your Grand Son made a memorandum to forward it by the next post after my departure— I am with real respect your Excellencys most humble Servant
