From Edmund Randolph

Dear Sir
I am much obliged to you for your explanatory letter to myself,1 and your permission for my inspection of the two addressed to your Southern correspondent.2 I had intended to drop you a few lines upon the depending subject. But hearing that you are to be at the Supreme court of the U.S;3 and not being able to say to you much sooner than the first day of their session, what I wish; it will be deferred to a personal ⟨inter⟩view.
I am dear Sir with great esteem & regard Yr. mo: ob. serv.
