I have at length succeeded in collecting together your letters to Genl Washington and some copies of his to you, which it affords me great pleasure to have accomplished & still greater to forward them to you. I shall apply to the Secretary of State to afford them a Conveyance to you by the first vessel which shall be charged with dispatches from our Government to France.

     I had the pleasure to recieve your letters by Mr Deleport and Mr Parish, and whilst I feel flattered by these proofs of your recollection, I have to thank you for introductions to two gentlemen who seem so well to deserve what you say of them. The former having favoured me with a visit, I had an opportunity of presenting him to Mrs Washington. The latter I saw in Philadelphia in May, and recieved from him a promise of his Company at Mount Vernon whenever he should go to the banks of the Potomack.
