I heard with great joy your safe arrival with your two Grand sons and Williams where I hope you now enjoy amidst your Charming Family those Pleasures you have so well earnd and of which you have so true a relish. I thought it idle to trouble you with letters even to thank you for those you gave me when I left Europe. You cannot doubt the warmth of my Attachment. It will last whilst I last that is all I shall say.

I write the present at the request of my friend Oliver Pollock Esquire now a residenter in your State. He sufferd deeply in the late revolution, and has the more merit as it was by voluntary services from a Place and in a Country where he was Exempted from any other obligation than affection for the Cause. He has large Claims on this State as well as on the United States. The first he has now got setled and I believe the last in some measure. If you can be of use to Him you will serve a deserving Man, and this I say with the more Confidence as his   itch and affairs have passd through my hands.

It will give you pleasure to know that I am well and doing well. Permit me to assure Mr. and Mrs. Bache and my two younger friends of my affection. Can I be usefull to any of them? My situation enables me to do litle services of many kinds in this Country. Consider me as a second self in what Concerns you and yours. Being most fervently Dear Sir Your most obedient humble servant
