Richard Henry Lee to William Shippen, Jr.

I am very happy to i<nform> you that your friend Dr. Arthu<r Lee> settled his affair with Congress <to his

mutilated> entire satisfaction - My love <if you mutilated> please, to my excellent Nephe<w & tell mutilated> him that altho my finances, for want of remittances in this severe Season, prevents me from presently remitting to Mr. De Barthold his money, that it shall not be neglected when my remittances shall come - My love to you all - God bless you &

farewell.

Richard Henry Lee
