Your two Letters of the 2d. and 27th. Ultimo came safe to hand—To occupy the time of Major General Hamilton by detailing the facts relative to a transaction too trifling in its self to command one thought; is the only apology for my long silence

I expect to be at West Chester in about Ten days when with permission I will Chearfully make you acquainted with the whole transaction

With the Highest respect I have the Honor to be Sir Your most Obedt. Servt.
