I am duly honor’d with your Letter of the 10th. Inst: & yesterday forwarded the dispatches for Mr. Thomson by the Packet for New York.—I think it probable that I did not express myself Clearly in my last Letter—the Postage I meant is the expence of Franking the Letters here which go by the Packet which is no less than four Livres per ounce.—your dispatches by the February Packet Cost £61..15.. & those sent yesterday £72.—this is extremely high but we did dare to send them by Passengers, who are often Careless about the Letters Commited to their Charge.—When our advances amount to a Sum worth attending to we Shall take the Liberty to draw on Your grandfather (to whom I request you will present my most respectful Compliments) for them.—with the greatest respect & esteem I remain Dear Sir Your very humble Ser
