Philadelphia [Pa.] July 13th. 1778
Dear Sir
I this day rec'd your favor of the 20th. ulto.1 The account of the money you rec'd of the Marine Committee I procured and was enclosed in Mr Wentworth's2 letter to you of the 20th. ult which I hope you have rec'd.3 Your letter to the Marine Committee of the 20th. ulto came by today's post and will be considered as soon as opportunity permits:4 the removal of Congress to this City has greatly retarded business. We have not yet procured proper offices for our Several Boards and Committees—hope in a few days we shall be better accomodated and attend with more alacrity to business. . . .
