I have just heard of an Adventure of mine out of which I directed you to be paid being captured by the Enemy on its Way to France. I am much chagrined that owing to this Dissappoint-ment you have not received the Money. I sent £30 Sterg & now remit in a Bill for 200 Dollars £45 Sterg. This with Chevr Tre-cesson's Bill will make up the £100 Sterg advanced for me & when the whole is settled I shall beg you to accept of the Interest. I took much pains to have it in my power with propriety to pay Mr Trecesson. I wrote to him to the West Indies giving him a Credit on a House in Martinique. I have heard from my Friends there that the Chevalier recieved my Letter he being at Guada-lope in the Regt of Armagnac but that he knows Nothing of the Bills. In the mean Time a genuine Bill was presented to me but as the Chevalier said he had never seen or heard of the Bills I have Reason to doubt the Authenticity of the Endorsement. I proposed to the Holder to send the Bill to the W Indie. & let the Chevalier acknowledge the Endorsement or recieve the Money from my Friends at Martinique & give a Reciept or if the En-dorsement be genuine let the Order of the Indorsee recieve it there. If I cannot get the Matter adjusted in some such Way I must I believe remit you the Money. There have been so much Delays & Difficulty in sending you this Money that I pray you to advance no more even if your Goodness should incline you so to do. I expect speedily to remit you some Money to be applied as the former. But I should be extremely obliged by any Intelligence from or concerning my Father from whom I have not heard for three Years not having recieved the Letter you mention nor any other. I believe you are acquainted with his Hand writing— I am with the most sincere Esteem & Respect Your very obedt & obliged hble Sert
