As there is no knowing When this Letter May Reach You, I Shall Content Myself With the Introduction of mr de Venkersky a Polander Whom I often Have Met in Several Societies—He is a Sensible Man, of Good family, and, I think, Some What deranged in His Money Concerns—This is all I know of Him, But Upon His Earnest Application, Could not deny Him the Happiness to Be presented to General Washington—There is With Him a Young French Gentlemen, Named mr de fontenille, Whose family I Am a little Acquainted With.

Be pleased, My dear General, to present My Best Respects to Mrs Washington, and I Need not telling You How Respectfully How Affectionately I Have the Honor to Be Your devoted friend
