I duly received your esteemed favour of February last, and thank you for the information it contained, which I availed myself of in appointing an agent at Richmond.
The “Travels in the United States” is now compleated and will be published to-morrow. By this Post I have sent you a Copy, with a map of the Seat of War, and explanatory Pamphlet;—all of which I beg you will accept; and I shall be happy should they meet your approbation.
