Since my Arival in England as I promised so I have frequently written to You and given You such Information as I thought worthy of your Attention. I mentioned to you heretofore the Accident (a Fall Mrs: Edwards received from a Carriage) that prevented my going immediately to the Continent. We were also induced to stay ’till Fall in Consequence of a Determination Mrs: Pinckney had come to, to...
The Day I did myself the Honor to take my Leave of you in Philadelphia—I engaged to write to you—and I should have done so before now but the Fact is that so little can be said from hence that will give a true State of the politicks of Europe (owing to the extreem Torrent that has for some time past prevailed here on the Side of Royalty) that I have scarce thought it worth while to give you...
I will be exceedingly obliged if you will excuse my asking one Letter from you to Some Gentleman in France, whether it be to Mr. Morris our Minister there, or some private Gentleman—I submit that to you. Doctor Rush at the Time He asked the one you have been so kind as to write , did not know that I certainly meant to visit France. The Agriculture of this Country as well as England I intend to...
When I arrived in Octr: last at N. York from France I forwarded on a letter or two from Mr: Monroe to you—and I should have written to you then as I promised him—but I really intended before I setled myself, to have taken a Trip into your State, and to have had the Pleasure of seeing you at your own House.

The Letter I then wrote to you expresses a Doubt of its being taken at all—it was written the Evening...
Since I have been in London I have written you two Letters—One by the Wm: Penn the other by the Way of New York. I hope this third will entitle Me to an Answer. I have mentioned to you the Rage that exists here for Emigration to our Country. I have by some Means or other, without any Steps taken on my own Part to procure it, become more known than I had any Right to expect in this Country—so...
Before I left France Mr: Skipwith prepared the inclosed Papers —for you, & wished very much they should be published—but on a Conversation I had with Him I prevailed on him to retract from that Determination. He however left the Papers with Me & desired I would use my own Discretion as to what Use might be made of them. I have been a good deal indisposed since I had the Pleasure to see you...
Mr Clymer applied to me to procure for your Excellency a dutch Plough which I will with Pleasure immediately do, but I would wish to know whether you would prefer a Barr-Shear, or one made in the common Way, with a wooden Chip—the difference between the two is that the former runs much lighter than the latter, but there is a little more difficulty it getting it new laid & sharpned. the Bar is...
