By a Mr. Wessels of Baltimore, who goes to that city in the Mail Stage of this day, I have sent to the care of Mr. G. Hill, Bookseller, Minots History, in 2 vols.

I have Just time to acknowledge your letter of the 29th Augt. & to request that you will have the goodness to send me both vol.

I now enclose you a certificate that you have purchased the American copy right to the life of Gen Washington, tho' with the contract in your pocket, I can hardly conceive how this can be necessary.

I got here this evening, & immediately afterwards recd your note.
