Britain &c & for marchi⟨ng⟩ a body of Spanish troops ⟨to⟩ France from my h⟨a⟩ving received them from ⟨him⟩ under the same cover, I sha⟨ll⟩ not trouble you with a copy of those. My last wa⟨s⟩ dated the 15th: Instant & w⟨ent⟩ by th⟨e⟩ Schooner Louisiana, Captn. Copeland for Boston. It covered a dispatch from Mr Erving. There is nothing new here of the least interest. With perfect Respect I have the honor to be Sir yr Mo. Ob. St
