In the Packet No. 1 I have sent you a long letter (acknowledging your favor of Octr. 7. [and] Mr. Temple Franklin’s of March 1st.) which on account of the great Quantity of public business I have not Time to Copy. Lest that should not Come to hand, I write you this Short information. Mr. Mrs. Beache are at Mainheim near Lancaster, they were well a few days ago. I have not yet received the Pamphlets Mr. W.T. Franklin mentions. I think we are now so safely landed that it requires more invention to go wrong than it ever did to go right.

I live in hopes of the Pleasure of seeing you and taking your advice respecting the History of the Revolution as soon as matters make it practicable to come to Europe. I am Dear Sir your Obliged and Affectionate humble Servant
