On the 27th of March I had the pleasure of addressing a letter to yourself, and on the 4th of april another to Mr. Monroe, to your care; but having no information of their being received, and having reason to apprehend that some of our post officers are guilty of mal practice and not to be trusted, I wish to be informed whether the letters have arrived, by a line directed to me at New York, where I intend to be soon, to the care of James Thompson or Samuel Osgood Esqrs. I remain my dear Sir with every sentiment of esteem & respect Your very hume Sert.
