To Charles Thomson (unpublished)
Philada. July 6. 1786.
Sir,

This will be delivered to you by Scotosh, Son to the Half King of the Wyondot Nation, who is well recommended as having been always very friendly to our People, and who with his Suite, goes to New York on a Visit to Congress. I make no doubt but the same Care will be taken of them, that they may be accommodated comfortably while at New York, as they have experienc’d here. With great Esteem, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
