Altho no person occupies so Much of my thoughts or after whom I make so frequent enquiries as your self, yet knowing the importance and weight of public affairs on Your hands, I purposly avoid troubling you with uninteresting correspondence, but I now take the liberty of introducing to your acquaintance Lady Juliana Penn, whose character in every point of view, is truly amiable and to whose case I doubt not you paying due attention.

I congratulate you on the provisional steps taken towards a peace, which I hope will give us the happiness of seeing you once more in England and in America, for which place my Family embardes, so soon as that valuable and desireable end is obtained. I am with perfect regard and esteem, Dear Sir, Yours most affectionately
