It is wished that your answer & the Address might be sent under cover to me thrõ the Post-Office, if a private conveyance shou’d not offer, and that I shou’d <to> take care to procure them to be published in the Boston Newspapers

Nothing affords me more satisfaction than to contribute to the extension of the Attachment of our Fellow Citizens to the Administration of our National Government, while struggling <against> to vindicate and maintain the Interests, Dignity and Independence of our Country against all their Enemies foreign and domestic.

I am Sir, with the greatest respect, / Your most obedient humble Servant
