Sir

The five enclosed bills were this day deliver'd me under cover— they are the property of Mr: Jona: L. Austin. I shall commit them to the care of Mr: Saml: Bradford who goes on for Nantes (by the way of Paris) where he will meet with Mr. Austin. I have requested him to present the Bills for acceptance.

Mr Adams is at Amsterdam where I am about going tomorrow.— We have nothing new. Your letter to him has been received. I am dear Sir with much respect and esteem your most obedient and most humble Servant
