Sir:

Mr. Brailsford did me the honor to present your favor of the 21st. Ulto. and I thank you for introducing so agreeable and well informed a Gentleman to my acquaintance.

I am happy to hear that Mrs. Bee and you prepose to honor Mount Vernon with a call on your return to Carolina. I wish I could be there to give you a welcome. Mrs. Washington will be more fortunate, and I am sure will enjoy the pleasure. I have only to wish that your stay may not be confined to a day or two; I am certain the length of it will add to the pleasure.

I pray you to present my best respects to Mrs. Bee and to be assured that I am etc.
