Your Letter of 1st. August came to my hands several weeks before Mr. Drayton received his on the subjects of Rice, Olives &c. to which I was referred.

I received a few Weeks ago, in the Country, your favour of so old a date as 26th. Septr., and am glad to find that the Commercial Papers which I sent you, had at last got to your hands.
