To Caleb Parry Wayne
New York Oct 19. 1802
Dear Sir
I shall go from hence this afternoon if the wind permits, and in that event hope to be in Frankfort on Thursday next, where or at Bristol I shall rely upon meeting you. As it is possible I may be delayed a day on the road, on account of the wind which is now blowing too hard to permit me to cross, I have thought it best to name the earliest day. – In haste I am very respectfully yrs
