William Phillips to Thomas Jefferson, August 12, 1779

Colonel Carters House August 12th: 1779

Sir

I am exceedingly sorry the Weather yesterday prevented me from having the pleasure of seeing you.

I return you my very sincere thanks for the answer to my letter of the day before yesterday. Mr. Geddes shall be sent in a very few days and I shall persue for the several Prisoners of War any mode of conveying money and Clothing to them you shall prefer.

The British Officers intend to perform a Play next Saturday at the Barracks. I shall be extremely happy to have the honour to attend you and Mrs. Jefferson in my Box at the Theatre should you or that Lady be enclined to go.

I am, Sir, with very great personal respect Your most obedient humble Servant,

W Phillips
