My dear sir

My Horses Have been Ready these three days to wait on Your grandfather But de choiseuïl’s illness Has kept me Here—He died an Hour ago, and as I Remain with some of His [?] friends, I will differ my visit untill to morrow morning about nine oclock, or any other Breakfast Hour You Appoint

I forgot to mention you the affair of the token, which seemed very pleasing to all—altho some were Refused at the same time—to morrow morning I will show You a Bargain for whale oil which if the docter approves it, I will send to Boston Your sincere friend

Lafayette
