Your kind Favour of the 7th Inst. came to hand safe the 16th. Please to accept my sincere and hearty thanks for your good Advice, and the many Obligations I am under to so good a Benefactor, and permit me also, to congratulate you upon the Peace lately concluded which gives me the greatest joy as a Patriot and by the Hopes I have that it will ease You of a major Part of your laborious Occupations. I am striving to merit if possible, another Prize which however will afford me less Contentment than the good Will you are pleas’d to profess for your most humble Servant
