I am honored with your favor of the 5th. inst. as well as with the circular letter of your house of July 2. I beg you to accept my sincere condoleance with your mother and yourself on the late loss you have sustained.

I shall with great pleasure be useful to your new house, by recommending you in America whenever occasions shall offer. I have the honor to be with great consideration Sir Your most obedt. humble servt,
