Boston 8ber 26. 1781 1

Sir

I have received the packet your Excellency has honored me with from Leyden on the 11. instant of last march. 2 I have forwarded his Letters according to their direction and I give him thousand thanks. I have Seen Mrs. Adams at Brentree and I Send you, Sir, a packet that She has caused to forward me yesterday. 3 I herein inclose a very interressing pamphlet wich causes a Lively and général joy. 4 I wish for the exchange of that glorious News, you would acquaint me soon with that of géneral Peace.

I have the honour to be, with greatest Respect, of your Excellency, the most-humble and most-obedient

Servant de Létombe

P.S. I wrote just now to Mrs. Adams to assure her mind about the incredible Report respecting the Indian man Mr. Guilon Commander. 5

Miss Adams is here at Mr. Isaac Smith’s and her health carries rosy colours as her cheaks do.
