I have received the box of letters by the steam boat.

I have this day shipped on board the schoonr John Capt Buck six trunks & a box containing all the manuscript books & papers which were in my possession. I have also sent the journals of the old Congress, Ramsays history of the revolution & some volumes of the Remembrances & the life of Putnam by Humphries. I received also Gordons history of the war but cannot find it. I have no recollection of having sent it to you with the papers formerly transmitted, but as I cannot suppose that any person would take it & am unable to find it I hope that I may have sent it. If you have it not I must repeat my search.

You have not noticed that part of my former letter which asks your opinion on the propriety of arranging the letters according to their dates. I am my dear sir with esteem & affection your
