Dear Sir

Yours of December the 9th. 3 I receiv’d per the Packet, by which was glad to hear of your Recovery. I am sorry you can get no good Hand to send over, and bad ones are not worth having. 4

I have sent Mr. Strahan by this opportunity a Bill of Exchange, out of which he will pay you One Hundred Pounds, which makes the Eighth Hundred sent you since you left Philadelphia. 5 When you have receiv’d the Money, you will please to notice the same to me.

We have lately printed Four thousand Pounds for the lower Counties; and this Day Week begin to print the £8000. for them granted at their last Sitting. 6 I am Yours

D Hall
