I have received your packet; and it is with much concern that I collect, from sentiments of such authority as those of our worthy friend, that the desired accommodation, threatens to be attended with much greater difficulty that I had flattered myself in the progress of our intercourse, there would be reason to apprehend.

I shall forward the propositions as intended; not desirous of trespassing farther on our friends indulgence; But retaining sentiments of regard, which his candid and obliging attention to my troublesome inquiries, will render ever permanent in the memory of your affectionate &c.
