Dr. Sir, ー

The Bearer of this is John McPherson Esq. He is a Genius ー an old Sea Warriour, Nine or ten Times wounded in Sea Fights.

He has a son in the Service ー Aid de Camp to Schuyler ー a very sensible Man.

Of Mr. McPherson's Errand to the Camp ask no Questions and I will tell you no false News. It will make a Noise in Time ー but for the present for Gods sake let not a Word be said.

I hope all our Friends who have Opportunity will shew him Respect.
