By reason of your unexpected return you have missed receiving, a Letter which I wrote to you when I supposed you to have been at Phila; In it I told you that I was waiting for Mr Chas Thomson’s answer to your Inquiry & as soon as I should receive it, would draw up something & submit it to your Inspection. Will you be so good as to tell me whether you have recd any answer from him, or whether you expect one

I am Sir with great Respect / Yr obliged & obedt servt
