By M Barber I have the honor of your Letter of the 17th Ult. He likewise communicates to me the very polite & friendly reception that was given him at Passy, & the situation He found the business in, that was the object of his journey.

I feel myself under the highest obligations for the part you have taken. May I request you to present my respectfull thanks to your Grandfather for the perticular troble He has given himself to investigate our Complaint. Our Cause founded in Justice will I hope meet with no great obstacles. Every new Circumstance & information that arrises must be collatteral evidence in our favor.

I beg leave to troble you with the Copy of two Letters which were wrote to one of the Parties in this business from a House of great Credit at St Domingo.—We have sent the like to Mr. Perrein the Council. We are pretty certain the Money is not [divided.]

I should have had the honor of enclosing these Letters sooner to you but I have been a little indisposed since Mr Barbers return & am now at Margate for the benefit of Sea bathing—this place affords no News.

I have the honor to be with great respect Your much obliged humble Servant
