I received the Letter you did me the honor of writing to me on the 3d Inst. by Mr. Barber; It was with pleasure I received my acquaintance with that Gentleman, but could have wish’d the object of his coming here had been of a more agreeable Nature. The immediate return of Mr. Barber, makes it unnecessary for me to acquaint you with the Situation of the Affair in this Country, he will fully inform you thereof.—Permit me to assure you that you may rely on every Exertion of my Grandfathers, for your obtaining ample, & speedy Justice.

With unfeigned Regard, I am, &ca— Please to make our Respectful Compts to Mrs. Hartley
