It is some time since I did myself the honor to Address you, and in the present instance I importune you with this only that my situation in Life demands it, sensible that your time must be engrossed by your attention to matters of more importance.

I have experienced considerable loss by being as yet disappointed in not receiving the Types which so long has been expected. If I remind you of this, think not but that it is with due deference to dignity, and veneration and gratitude for the Countenance and Favor you have already shewn me.

I wish Sir, that by the next Packet you would do me the honor to send me a line or two that I might know where to fix my hopes. as to be suspended betwixt the hopes of receiving them and the Fear of being Disappointed, you will admit is certainly not a very agreeable situation.

My Most unfeigned Respects to you accompany this with every wish for your happiness, and believe that I am Honored Sir, Your Most Obedient Servant
