I have had the pleasure of recieving yours by Mr Fisher.1 He called when I was from Home. Then directly afterwards I was so engaged in public Business, that I could not return his visit immediately. The moment I could find Liesure for the purpose, I called with Col. Trumbull at his Lodgings; and was mortified to learn that he had just gone to Liverpool. I hope on his Return to see him, and then to have an opportunity of shewing him those Civilities and Attentions which I shall always think due to your Recommendations.

In my public Letter to you by this opportunity,2 I thought it most delicate to omit mentioning that your Letter by Mr Munro, and his Speech to the Convention is regarded here as not being consistant with the neutral Situation of the U.S.— An uneasy Sensation has thereby been made here in the public Mind, and probably in that of the Cabinet. It is not pleasant for me to say these Things. but so is the fact, and it is proper that you should know it.3—

I enclose two pamphlets—4 How far the Ideas they convey may be useful in our Country I cannot say.5 with the best Wishes for your Health & Happiness I am Sir your most obt. and hble servt.
