Loudoun 17 July 1775
My Lord
I have just now received the Inclosed papers, which arived at Greenock by a Ship on Saturday last [July 15] which left Virginia on the 12 of June, the merchant has communicated them to me this morning with an Extract of his Letters from Williamsburg, in case your Lordship has not received so late an Inteligence I thought proper to forward them to you.
I have the Honour to be with great regard and Esteem My Lord [&c.]
