I should feel myself happy in executing any commands on this subject or to forward such directions to Madeira as your Excellency may think proper. a letter for me under cover to His Excellency the president of Congress will be safely delivered. I have the Honor to be with perfect Esteem & regard Your Excellencys most obedient Humble servant
