You may remember that we were together at the Hotel de la Monnoye, to see M. Drost strike coins in his new manner, and that you were so kind as to speak with him afterwards on the subject of his coming to America.

Mr. Rutledge, who has the honor of being known to you, and who is the son of my very particular friend, has occasion for 20 or 25 guineas. It would give me great pain to see him suffer, and it is not in my power to assist him.
