Dear Sir
In my letter of yesterday by mr Johnson, I mentioned that I would write to you more specially on the subject of the remittance to Philadelphia; I find that my different accounts there for books and newspapers amount nearly to 150.D. which sum I will therefore ask the favor of you to remit to mr Nicholas G. Dufief bookseller Philadelphia, on my account. I write to him now as to the disposal of it. I inclose the note for the bank as mentioned in my letter of yesterday. the box of books spoken of in a former letter came to hand yesterday. Accept assurances of esteem & respect.
