Sir

Your much Esteem'd favour under the 30th July, is Before me, am much Oblig'd by the Concern you've express for the inconvenience. I've been put too for the want of money, you need not have made the least Apology Sir As I am very thoroughly convinc'd of the Rectitude of your intentions, and shou'dn't wonder if in the multiplicity and the very important matters which must engage all your Attention you should have forgot me. Which the Letter you Refer to convinces you had not,² I saw. Capt [William] Bartlet and [Jonathan] Glover the day after I Recd that Ltr. and communicated thit part to them, they tell me (as I wrote the Worthy president) that they shall on the Settlement of their Accounts, have a Ballance to Receive, General Washington having taken so Great a part of the Cargo's out of their hands³

I have been under a Necessity of Borrowing Money. and shall be obliged still to borrow: if an Oppertunity shou'd offer of sending along the money it wou'd be very Acceptable seeing I cant Obtain dra[f]ts on philada

I wish you and your friends a continuance of your health in this very hot Season, being with all due Respect Sir [&c.]
