Trenton Decemr. 14th, 1784
Sir,
Your letter of the 10th. Inst. was this day received and laid before Congress - no immediate Order was taken upon it, if I may be permitted a conjecture, I would suppose that the enclosed resolve upon the subject of your letter was considered as the sense of Congress on that point - Should this not correspond with your idea, you will please to signify your opinion upon that point in a subsequent letter. I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient and very humble Servant.
