From Edmund Jenings

Brussels Decr. 6th. 1779.
Sir

As I Know not, whether your Excellency has received a Copy of the King of Great Britains Speech to his Houses of Parliament, and as it will be at least a Matter of Curiosity, I take the Liberty of inclosing One herewith.— It was brought to Ostend by a Pilot of Dover.

Give me leave to inform your Excellency, that I have been in this City about two months, and that I shall be proud to receive whatever Commands your Excellency shall be pleased to Lay on me, being most Ambitious of Serving my Country and Manifesting that Respect, with which I am Sir your Excellencies Most Faithful and Obedient Humble Servant
