Sir

Just returnd to Bordeaux from the Country where by your friendly Assistance I have resided since I left Passi: Accept this my most respectful acknowledgements for your kind services. Services of a nature that cannot be errast and of which I shall ever retain a most sincere reconnoisance by my last Letters from Paris I am not more advanct than when I left that City nor know I when I can depend on getting freed from my conections with Price. how has appeard with new forged Papers that he and Haywood fabricated the last Winter at Paris. I cannot say how the Judges may decree when Events depend on the Judgement of others the results are uncertain         My best wishes to young Mr Franklin who I suppose ere this is returnd as also to Mr Bache and your family at all times and on all occations I shall ever esteem the oppertunity of shewing that I am truely and respectfully Sir your much obliged and obedient Humble Servant
