I cannot let an occasion pass to give you any Information that has the most distant appearence of being useful to you—I Find that Mr Berkley the Clerk of this assembly is gone on to the Convention with Govr Randolph with the express view of getting himself chosen secretary to that Body, & he no doubt has secured the Virginia Interest.—Whatever your modesty may oblige you to think, I think you might, & wish you might obtain the appointment, which would be a good Step gained in the political Ladder.—You may esteem this piece of Information as trifling & useless, if so it is at least harmless, my motive is to shew you Views which might not be apparent at first Sight.—I shall stay here 5 or 6 Weeks longer, let me hear from you & tell me all the political movements of the [?], that come to your knowledge.—Was any Paper read at your meeting of political disquisitors?—

I am as ever most sincerely & affey Yours
