Your friendly Congratulations on my safe Return to our Country, are extreamly obliging.

In the Services you are pleased so kindly to remember, I had great and able Assistance from others. My principal Merit if I may claim any in public Affairs, is that of having been always ready and willing to receive and follow good Advice.

I think my self happy in returning to live under the free Constitution of this Commonwealth, and hope with you that we and our Posterity may long enjoy it.

Accept my Thanks for your good Wishes respecting my personal Happiness, and which will always be augmented by the Prosperity of Pennsylvania.
