Mr. Mitchell has written Mr. Meyer that you were anxious to continue your journey & that he had not the oppy to shew you all the attentions that were due to you. I trust that you may find yourself equally pleased with the persons to whom you have been recommended in Prussia and that you may reach the end of your journey at an agreeable Season and in the enjoyment of your health.
