I wrote you a few lines by last post on the subject of drawing a bill on You for Mr. Peters’s supply; I have not yet drawn the Bill, & the Regular packets being now stopt, I took advice as to the mode of doing it. I am advisd to draw at 10 days sight not on You but on Monsr. G-d for an equivalent of liveres to the pounds Strg. as the Exe. may govern here.

Mr. Peters being apparantly anxious for the remittance, & from what I learn in want of it, I think by the next packet I will draw a bill in livers equivalent to one hundd and ten pounds at ten days sight regularly on Mosr. G—d marked as on accot [account] of Dr. F—. You will therefore be pleasd to give the necessary direction about it I think it will be payable to Messrs. French & Hobson, and as soon as advice is recd of its payment the amot. i.e. one hundd pounds shall be lodgd where Mr Peters directs at the House of Messrs. Fuller & Co. Bankers. I could not get them to take the French bills as they have no connexion in the bill way at Paris. If any other bills or remittances are wanted It will be necessary to give me proper direction how to write & direct to Ostend for the immediate conveyance is now no more. Every countenance here is sad, and carrys the appearance of serious and distructive War; I am among the foremost advocates for peace & hope it will not be long before we are blessd with it. I am Yr very Respectful & Obedient Servt
