Passy, Sept. 17. 1782

Dear Sir,

I have just receiv’d the Enclos’d from Mr E. Bridgen of London. Please to return me his Letter.

I long to finish my private Affair you are so good as to assist me in, & shall be glad to receive the additional Provisions you intended, that I may copy the whole, for I think my present Situation more hazardous than those about me seem to imagine. 7

With sincere Esteem, I am, Dear Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant
