I done my self the honor of writing to you last March in which I Inform’d you that Neither of the Ships for which I obtain’d P—s—ts from His Excellancy had then Saild, nor could I get things so adjusted as to have Either ready before the 13th. Inst When The Lord Ch—r—t Brig Sail’d with a Valuable Cargo Containing a great part of my property, as I could not get my affairs so settled as to be able to go my self I sent my Nephew & Partner James C—s in her to take care of the Property and to Establish a House Either in Virginia, Maryland, or Philadelphia, and I hope to be able to Follow him in a few Months with my Family, &c—There likewise went Passenger on her a Mr Reddy with an Intent of Settling in the Neighbourhood with my Nephew, I am fully Satisfied that they are boath men of the Strictest Integrity & honor, and that they will do every thing in their power to promote the Honor and Dignity of the United States, and Strictly adhere to their Instructions—I have directed them as Soon as their Voyage is Compleated to advise His Excellancy and you thereof.

If I might still Trespass on your Goodness it would be to request when you write to America and have a Few moments to Spare that you will be so good as to Mention those Gentlemen to your Friends and you my be assur’d that they will not Dishonor your recommendation.

The People of this Country are again beginning to rouze from the Lethargy the have been in for some time past and are now fully convinced of the Treachery and deceit of E—d and see that the boasted Free Trade is nothing but an Infamous Fraud, of the Eng—h M.—y as they have taken good care it should not be of any Service, from the Numberless Clogs that attend it, and from their leaving this Channel entirely defenceless, not even a Frigate of Force being from Cork to Derry, the General exclamation (and a very Just one) is, this are the French, Americans &c our Enimys as Irishmen, no its from Our Connection with En—d, therefore where protection ceases Ali—nce should be at End—

If your Friends would wish to serve a gratefull generous People and to distress a Formidable Enimy, Now is the Time, a Fleet in this Channel and a Friendly Manifesto properly distributed offering to Gaurentee the Freedom of the Seas would make a Wonderfull change in the Minds and Actions of the People, I say again that now is the Time as there are to be Provincial reviews of our Volunteers in the Months of July & August and Our New Lord Lieutenant and his Secretary seem to have a Desire to Carry every measure, with a High hand so much so that they have even disgusted the very Tools of Administration—If you should think proper to honor me with a line on this or any other Subject be so good as to Direct for Robt Browne Esqr. under Cover to Messrs. Charles Dalliac, Barbat & Jourdan, London and they will forward it—

I beg you may present my best respects to His Excellancy and assure him that I shall not cease to pray for his happiness, and the glory and prosperity of the United States, and allow me to Say that I am fully Sensible of your goodness to me, and that Nothing would make me so happy as having an oppertunity of shewing my gratitude, and have the honor of remaining Dear sir your most Faithfull Oblig’d humble Servant
