I was this morning honored with your Excellency’s Letter of the 3d Instant which, relating to a Matter within the Treasury Department, shall be immediately laid before the Honble the Commissioners, to whom Mr. Morris and Mr. Vaughan have written on the same Subject.

Your sentiments of Mr. Vaughan cannot fail to impress a very favourable opinion of him. I have long been in the Habit (if I may so say) of wishing well to him and his Family, and that he and they might become Citizens of America and derive from it as much satisfaction as they have manifested attachment to our cause and Country. With great Respect and Esteem I have the Honor to be &c.
