On my return to Town this morning I found my self honoured with your favour of the 15th Inst. enclosing Bill of loading of a small pacquet, per the Brig Bailly & Suffren. It has been sent to the French Consuls, and forwarded to you by him: or I should with pleasure have received, and forwarded it to you.

I hope that my Brother has got the better of the Fever and Ague and that I shall soon have the pleasure of hearing from him. I am with much respect Sir Your most Obedient and most humble Servant
