The inclosed Packet directed for yourself, I received a few days ago, from Cape Francois; the other Packet for the Compte de Barbencon. Mr. Bartram requested me to forward to your care. We have had several Arrivals lately from France, without the pleasure of a Line from you, Mr. Williams writes me however that you are well; we would rather have this information under your own hand and Seal, but we content ourselves with supposing that it is business that deprives us the pleasure of hearing from you, as often as we could wish.

Sally and the Children are in perfect good health. The season has been rather sickly, more frequent and sudden changes from hot to Cold were never known in America, these have produced fevers of various sorts, which have carried off a great number of People.

Mr. Jos. Turner and Mr. Hamilton have slipped off, but they had been invalids for some time preceding their death. Notwithstanding the morta[lity?] of the Season, our numbers have increased in a most astonishing degree; such an influx of Foreigners from every Country in Europe, exceeds every expectation; in short our City is as full as it can hold.

I herewith send you the News papers, and remain Dear sir Your affectionate Son
