I have the honor to acquaint your Excellency that I have procured two rooms in the house of Mr. Rooseboom, for your accommodation in this place this winter, and am in hopes the exertions of the family will contribute much to your ease, and comfort, both Mr. & Mrs. Rooseboom asuring us that nothing shall be wanting on their part to make every ^thing^ agreeable to you. I shall be highly gratified, in finding the result, correspond with my wishes on this subject—1

On Monday last, I dispatched a Sledge for the Cask of porter, you had consigned to my care, (by Capt. Fryers sloop), which arrived here last Evening, I have had it put into Mr. Roosebooms cellar; the Sloop got up no farther than Loeningburgh.2

Your Excellencies letter of the 10th. instant,3 was handed to me last Eve by the two Mohawk Indians, (accompanied by another of the Chiefs of that Nation being the father of John, who handed me the letter)— agreeable to your directions I’ve procured decent Lodgings for them, and shall have an eye toward them, for fear they should make too free with the strong waters of their Host—4

It is with singular satisfaction I can now inform you, that the Citizens of Albany are making every exertion to accommodate the Gentlemen of the Legislature, and I feel satisfied that their exertions will not be in vain—

The rooms in our Court house, have been put in ample order for the reception of both Branches of the Legislature, & I conclude, we shall find ourselves comfortably & conveniently situated—

Any commands your excellency shall please to honor me with, will be punctually attended to, & executed to the best of my ability—I am Sir—with respect, & esteem, your Mo[st]. obedt. Servt. &c.
