ABSTRACT

It is with the greatest pleasure I write, that we are pro­ ceeding to Sea all well. The wind at presewtt is south, blowing a fresh double reef Topsail Breeze, and the ship bears her canvass tolerably well. The Pilot is of the same opinion with myself that she Sails much better than when we came home, with this wind we shall be able to get well to the westward and keep clear of the French

The sight of you, yesterday awakened in my mind the many Instances of kindness and Friendship I have recieved from you and I trust my conduct will ever be such as to leave no doubt in your mind of the gratefulness of my heartMr Williams and the Crew give me every satisfaction, and are all well and in spirits.
