I send you three letters from mr Fitz, improperly sent to me, but as they may contain something worthy your notice, I forward them to you. I believe I have before informed you that he is as purely honest & inoffensive a man as lives, and well qualified as a Surveyor. he lived with me a year or two. his letter of latest date must have been extorted from his good nature.

Mrs Jones has requested that I will sollicit attention to1 her business from the Government. you know the difficulty of refusing requests from such quarters. I told the person who asked it that they might be assured of your attention without any sollicitation but that I would mention it to you, which I do merely to fulfill my word, and be able to say I have done it. Accept assurances of my constant & affectionate esteem & respect
