Downing Street [London] July 4th
[Extract]
I was sorry to see that the Vessel lately sent to the Southern Colonies had no instructions to look into Annapolis en passant: It surely w'd be both a reasonable & proper Indulgence to my Brother2 to direct one of the Kings Ships on the Southern Station to call in upon Him; & to give His Family that Opportunity (for they can have no other) of writing to Him.
Believe me with real Esteem & Regard my dear Sir [&c.]
Wm Eden.
