I have wrote repeatedly to you since the receipt of your last favor of 26 Decr. I hope the Bills I sent you have reached you. There appears very little disposition in some of the States, to pass the necessary Laws for establishing a fund for the payment of the interest of the national Debt, not withstanding the repeated recommendations of Congress for this good and salutary purpose; hence there is no judging when any more Interest will be paid; as soon as it shall come to my hands, it shall be punctually remited you. We had the pleasure yesterday of hearing from Mrs. Mecom, she is lately recovered from a severe indisposition, which she has labored under, the greatest part of last Winter; and which, as she writes us, she was apprehensive would have carried her off. She was going to spend her Summer in the State of Rhode Island.

Inclosed is a Letter for Ben—I have the pleasure to tell you that Sally and the Children are well, the two youngest have just got thro’ the Meazles—Betty is up at Mount Airy with Miss Beckwith, whose School increases fast.

Be pleased to accept our joint Love and Duty and be assured I remain ever Dear sir Your dutifull and affectionate Son
