New York Oct. 12. 1786.
Dear Sir

If the note I sent you can be returned, so that I can make the application for the Money before the return of Mr. Bache it will be an advantage. I was in hopes to have heard from you before this. If any opportunity offers before the Post, permit to beg you will make use of it. I have the honor to be Dear Sir With true Regard Your Humble Servant
