Philadelphia, Dec. 27th, 1775.
[Extract]
Our term is up Saturday next, but I shall hardly set out for home until sometime the middle of January, if so soon, as our Fleet is got stopped by the ice. Your brother Dudley [Saltonstall] came here last Saturday [December 23] and lodges with me for the present. When he will be able to sail depends on the weather.
