I hope you continue well, tho’ ’tis long since I have had the Pleasure of hearing from you. I send inclos’d the Certificate of your Election as one of our Philosophical Society, which has resum’d its Functions since the Peace, and published a Second Volume of their Transactions, a Copy of which I also send you in the Care of M. Rendon. There is in it a Piece, written by Mr Otto, Chargé des Affaires de France with Congress, concerning the Discovery of America, which being relative to the History of Spain, I have sent a Copy of it to the Academy. If you should learn their Sentiments of it, I shall be oblig’d to you for the Communication of them. The Congress are inactive at present for want of a Quorum. Your Namesake, being in Possession of his Father’s Lands is become a Farmer. And I am, as ever, my dear Friend, Yours most affectionately
