my Letter to and a/c wth Genl K. as well Copy—of the latter for your govermt is Also inclosed—

your favr of the 4th recd this Instant shall be duly Attended to and particularly so with referance to Mrs Beckley—tho I fear with little hopes of success. still however I have ventured to renew the disagreable subject—without (if possible) wounding her feelings—but I presume the unfavorable situation of her Brothers Affairs (the Ostensible excuse) will scarse Allow them the means—if really so—should they possess the good Principle of performing with good faith their promises long since made of adjusting this debt of Honor—which to a gratefull mind must harrow up the most cutting feelings of both shame and remorse—her Answer may however at least Afford some future hope of redress.
