Having occasion to write to Mr. Grand on the 21st. of February last to enclose to him a bill of Exchange for 6666, 13 Liv: I: drawn by Mr. Robert Morris upon him, in my favour in part of my salary. I acquainted him that the Credit he had given me here, wou’d be out on the next of March, and that I shoud stand in need of another in a short time; and referred him to you for particular information upon the subject. I have not yet been honoured with an answer to my Letter; nor has any further Credit been opened here for me. This omission will soon oblige me to have recourse to the Credit of £2500 which was given for another purpose. I hope however you will be pleased to give directions to Mr: Grand for another years Credit, as no bills have since come to hand, and I am totally destitute of money except that I break in upon the above particular Credit, the whole of which I expect soon to have occasion for as the main difficulties, which were raised here, have been removed, and an audience will be granted to me the moment the Definitive Treaty shall be concluded. I have the honour to be with much respect and esteem, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
