I hope you will Pardon me for Troubling you to read this Sermon for I know that your Time is very precious; but is my opinion that it will be of great use in the Present Crisis. I would have rode down to see you, but I cannot the Cold. I am recovering my health and am in hopes that in warm weather I can be of use to my Country. I know there is no prospect of Peace. I wish that no long speeches be made in Congress, but a few observations, let the Question be taken the british Party in Congress main to gain Time that the british may find us unprepared next spring.
