Sir

I have done myself the Honor this Day to Transmitt to London the Dispatches herewith, by the desire of my Brother who ordered me in Case I should not have the honor of Delivering them myself in person to transmitt them to the French Ambassador. And as the Weather seems very turbulent And my Passage sound like to be long I have sent them Accordingly and hope there is no doubt but they will Come safe to hand. And with wishing You every Happiness the present Sunshine is possible to Afford And Your Virtues so richly deserve   Have the Honor to subscribe myself Your most Obedient and very Humble Servant
