A Thousand Thanks for your very Obliging Letter of 22d. Novr. 7 which I never Received till this Day which has punish’d me Sufficiently for my Neglect in not giving my Address. I hope our success in America will continue and be productive of Liberty & Peace which I most Ardently wish for.

The Letter that you was so obliging to Inclose was from Mr. MKean 8 dated 6th. Octr. therefore contain’d nothing new.

Your Grand Son is very well, as is Mastr. Johonnot, & Montgomery, their Respectful Compliments are presented. They appear to be very Happy and contented, and are delighted with the expectations of seeing the Mastr Morris’s 9 here very soon. My Compts. attend Mr. T— Franklin.
