Having reason to beleive that several of my letters have miscarried during the casualties of the Season, and having just ascertained, that one written, some time ago to Mr E. Everett of Boston never reached him, it occurs, that my answer to your letter of   on the subject of Mr Pinckney may have had a like fate. Say by a line whether it has, or has not. In the former case, I will send you a copy. With cordial salutations
