I had the honor to receive your favor of the 6th. of February, and submitted a copy of it to His Excellency the President of Congress, but as a sufficient number of members have not been present, until within a few days past, nothing has yet been done on the business.

I have the honor to be with the highest sentiments of Attachment & Esteem, Sir, Your Most Obedient & Humble Servant,
