Mr. Jay left Dover, with a fair Wind, on the 1st Inst. I went down to that place along with Mr. Laurens and Mr. Vaughan, to bid him and Mrs. Jay farewell. Mr. Laurens left this place on Sunday last, to go in the Falmouth packet for New York—together with his Son. His Female Friends he leaves at Bath.

I am glad of this, as I shall alwise be of every opportunity of testifying my respect and left wishes for your health and happiness, being with Sincere esteem and affection Dear Sir Your most obedient humble Servant
