I received at Philadelphia your much esteemed favor of May 15. and wrote you from thence a long letter in answer. The part of it respecting your dispute with Colo.

Present my respectful compliments to Mrs. Rose and your brothers and be assured of the esteem with which I am Dear Sir Your sincere friend & hble servt
