Pha. Oct 16th. 1781.
Dear Sr,
I wrote to you yesterday by Capn Swan,1 by whom I sent yr Camblet &ca. for a great Coat. I hope to be able to make out for the trimmings you gave Mr Hanson a memorandum of.
I have nothing particular to mention you. Appearances at N. York still continue of the Enemies intention to Sail with their fleet & some troops.
Present my Comps to Mrs. Lee. I am Dr Sr. with great esteem, your Affectionate hble Serv.
