My letters to you covering remittances on behalf of Mr. Mazzei have been of May 27. and Sep. 8. 1795. and Jan. 31. 1796. By a letter from Mr. Mazzei I am advised that that of May 27. got safe to hand, but that the bills on Anderson of London for £39—17—10 1/2 and George Barclay of the same place for £70—8—6 were refused paiment in consequence of the hostilities between Gr. Britain and the U. Netherlands. I shall in consequence immediately write to the drawers to redemand the money if it be still witheld.

I will just recapitulate that my letter of Sep. 8. covered Hodgeden’s bill on Robinson &c. of Whitehaven for £300. and that of Jan. 31. covered a bill of the same on the same for £137—16 6.

I have now the pleasure to inform you that Dohrman has settled his account, the balance due from him to Mr. Mazzei three thousand and eighty seven dollars, which sum I have desired Mr. Madison (now in Philadelphia) to invest in good bills on Amsterdam and remit to you to be held subject to the order of Mr. Mazzei, which I hope he will be able to do, and to forward with this present letter. I shall be anxious to hear from you that it is safely recieved, as well as the remittances of Sep. 8. and Jan. 31.

I wrote to you Feb. 28. 96. on our separate affairs to which I beg leave to refer you and attend your answer, and am with great esteem Gentlemen Your friend & servt
