Dear and hond sir

The present serves to hand you some Letters brought by my Father who is in my house in perfect Health. When I have arranged my Business so as to be able to leave it I shall wait on you with him and bring home Mr. W in return.

I thank you for your Note to Lord Shelburne which I hope he will feel.

I am with the greatest Respect Your dutifull and affectionate

Jona Williams
