As I enclose this in the same cover as one from my Brother, his letter anticipates every thing that I have to say to you at present. I beg leave to join in the recommendation to you of Mr. Joshua Grigby who with the Spirit of Youth and activity wishes to see the new world. I hope the future intercommunication between this Country and America will obliterate temporary animosities and restore the antient harmony and connexion. I heartily rejoice to see and hear of the public tokens of an approaching pacification: Whenever I shall see the general proclamation for a suspension of hostilities between all the belligerent parties my heart will be at rest. We are encouraged to expect such a proclamation in this Country very speedily. Every future view of my life upon this subject will be to cultivate conciliatory principles betwen our two Countries, in the reciprocity of common interests and common affections. Believe me to be a friend to the rights of Mankind and of all those who are friends to them; and therefore ever Most sincerely and most affectionately Yours
