I have duely received your esteemed favours of the 2d and 3d Instant the Contents of which requiring no immediate answer, the present may serve to acquaint you with the safe arrival here of the Schooner Jenifer in 35 days from Baltimore. This Vessell has brought sundry dispatches for you from Congress, and the Bearer Captain Hammond will have the pleasure of delivering them to you tomorrow Evening or on Thursday Morning. As Captain Hammond does not understand french and to obtain dispatch I have requested the favour of Mr. Rumsey to accompany him to Paris. The articles required by the Committee will be got in readiness immediately, so that after he has obtained your orders, he can proceed for Baltimore without delay. I remain in haste Gentlemen Your most Obedient Servant
