I am confident I could have served you considerably but I thought it better to trust to the motives upon which you depended than risk the consequences of a sudden relaxation of strict command.

The papers with the dispatches from our envoys...

We received your favor of March 31. yesterday and learn with great joy that your next will order your horses—that of the 4th.
