Mr. Charettier, the Bearer hereof, who had the Honour of paying His respects to You two Years agoe being about to set for Paris again, in a few Hours, to give an account of a Trust He hath executed for that Court, as Commissary for Their Prisoners of War, with great Credit, I beg Leave to recommend Him to Your Favour, & Protection, as a very honest deserving Man—2

The Time is short, and will not allow me to say more than to congratulate You once more on the Peace, & the great Things Providence hath made You a principal Instrument of effecting, —which I do most sincerely,—and to convey to You the most affectionate Regards of my Wife,—old Mrs. Chambers, who still hopes to see You again,—My Sons,—& all our Family—

I say nothing of our Politicks, knowing You are like to be acquainted with Them thro’ a surer Channell; by which You will learn, We are the same unhappy ill Governed, distracted Nation—

May all Happiness attend You, and a better Disposition take place with Us!

Favour me with a Line, when You have a few Minutes to throw away, & be assured I am with the sincerest Esteem, & affection Dear Sir Your devoted Friend & Servant
