Nothing on my
part shall be wanting, either in advice, or information, by which you
may think I can be of service. If you should see Governor Eslawee
before my letter reaches him, give him my kindest and best wishes; and
say that I hope, as he has been for a great many years past a sincere
friend to the British nation, his friendship will continue true and
steadfast.

In consequence of this request, I am making preparations for my
departure by to-morrow morning. I shall write to you again from

received by the Governor on this my second trip.
