Lest Your Excellency should not have been made acquainted with the transactions relative to the treatment of Mr. Laurens I take the liberty of putting within the present inclosure some extracts from three Newspapers which I yesterday met with. If any thing is to be attempted for the relief of that Gentleman, and that such a person as I could be of the smallest use in the business, I shall be very happy. It is my duty to go any length and run every risque for his service, and I wish most ardently for an opportunity of performing that duty. My address is at the house of Mr. Williams.

I have the honor to be With the greatest veneration and esteem Your Excellency's Most Humble & Obedient Servant
