Honourable Sir

I have now to confirm what I wrote you the 13th Current, showing occasion this post to write Messrs. J. F. Frins Co. Bankers in Paris. I take the liberty to enclose these few lines for you, in which I beg leave to repeat the request I made of you in my abovesaid letter. I desire your speedy complyance, because I believe the measure will be of great Service to me.

If any favourable turn in affairs, or if any likelyhood of a Speedy conclusion of the present unhappy troubles, a hint conveyed to me I should esteem as an essential favour. I believe I shall stay here until an answer may be had to this and if you will do me the honour to write me a few lines, I recommend you to direct for me to care of Messrs. Hart & Wilkens here. I am with true esteem and regard Honourable Sir Your most Obedient Servant,
