Mr Bethune
We have received yours of
yesterday and hope you have received ours of
Monday. We have scarcely anything to observe
further than what we wrote in our letters of
Friday and Monday; but when you find
it proper to make a report to us, we shall
be glad to know the effects of the Squills
with the additives we proposed in our last.
I am with great regard
Dear Sir
Your most Obedient Servant
