With a great deal of pleasure I welcome your return to America, where, I hope, you will meet with every Circumstance to make you happy. Master Bache was too young when he went away to remember me; but do me the service to make him a sharer of my congratulations—

I shall be very glad to receive a line from you, and to hear how Mr. and Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Alexander family are, how our old fiend the Marquis De la Fayette is, and such other matters as may occur to you

I am Dear Sir, your sincere friend and Obedet. Humble servant
