From Sarah Bache (unpublished)
Philadelphia Jan 24th. 1783
Dear and Honoured Sir

Coll Cambray, who we shall miss very much, is the bearer of this, he will tell you how all the Family do. I paraded all the Children to day on purpose for him to tell you how they look’d and if he does not say they are fine and handsome, I know not were he will find his beauties. The newspapers that came since Major Franks’ packet was made up I now give to Coll Cambray. Miss Beckwith, who is every thing that is Clever is with us, give me leave to thank you for introducing her to us. I look upon myself particularly fortunate to have it in my power to make Philad in some measure agreable to her. Every effort in Mr. B. power and mine shall be exerted to serve her. Mr. Bache is not at home, my love to Temple and Beny I am as ever your Dutiful Daughter
