My very particular and honored friend and relative Lt Govr Phillips, with his lady and daughter contemplate a visit to Washington & its vicinity. They will probably pay their respects to you at Mount Vernon; in which case, I wish to introduce them to your acquaintance and attentions.

     As one of our most distinguished and excellent citizens his reputation must have long since reached you; and I am sure it will gratify you to be instrumental, in making his short visit to Virginia pleasant to him and his family.

     Present me respectfully to your lady, in which wish Mrs Quincy joins, very truly yr hl. St
