Dear & hond Sir

I have recvd a Letter for Mr Moylan relative to the Bills payable to Mr Dennie, & therefore request you to make no opposition to the Payment of them.—

It is said that a Cartel with the american Prisoners on board is arrived in the River— I am not sure of it, but have no reason to doubt it.—6

The american Gentlemen are almost all of them near their Departure— I hope your Order for the Settlement of my accot is on the Road.—

I hope the News from Paris to day about the Success of the French in the West Indies & of the americans in Georgia is true.

I am ever most dutifully & affectionately yours &c &
