Dear Sir,
your favor of the 14 (instant) was delivered to me as I [was]1 walking near the gate and could not prevail on the bearer to wait for an answer and observe now what I then intended to state to you that the satisfaction to us from your Visit will be encreased by the pleasure of Seeing your two friends mr Correa and Gilmer (the latter I think I have seen) they may as well as yourself be assured that nothing will be lacking on our part to make there time as agreeable as possable
