Sir

By favour of Captn. Channing send you few lines Aquainting you that matters in this Country are likely to take a very diffrent turn to What was expected by the favourers of despotism to the West’ard of London.

All men agree (Confesedly) that the Conquest of America is now utterly inpracticable; the most Bloody invoakers of the destruction of that Country are now reduced to wish for peace at any rate, a very diffrent language to their Boasting threats few years ago.

I need not enlarge. Captn. Channing will fully inform you of particulars have the Honour to Remain Yours very Sincerely

G.W.
