I went this morning to Pasy to have the honour of Paying your Grandfather & you the Compliments of the Season, & of delivering you the inclosed Letter to Satisfy Dr. Ingenhouse—I however did not find even a servant, who could receive a Message. The Letter which I intended to have left & which I now send was communicated to Dr. Franklin, when I first recd. it, & you will be pleased to extract such parts as relate to Dr. Ingenhouse’s Concern & let him know that I am very seriously displeased, at the distrust of my veracity, which is so evidently & strongly implied by his asking to have the Letter inspected by others; to say nothing of the impropriety of his expecting me to expose a long Letter, not one twentieth part of which relates to him. Between ourselves, I fell this Proceding of Dr. Ingenhouse so much, that if he does not apologize for it, I shall certainly call him to a serious acct. whenever the distance between us, does not, as at present, render it impossible.
