Fred[e]r[icksburg] July 9th 1755

Sir.

The extraordinary favour you have conferd on me and my Son, in procureing him a Commission on the establishment 1 calls for our most gratefull Acknowledgments, which give me leave to assure you I shall ever retain a sense of. When I was at Alexandria I could not be informd for certain whether you were to go out, and indeed must own my Attention was so taken up with so unusuall a sight that I never once thought of applying to you for your interest, which neglect you have been too generous to resent. 2

Our friends here are all well, your sister Lewis has got another son 3 –€”I wish you health and prosperity & am Sir Yr most obliged Humble servt
