Abstract
Acknowledges letter; had expected to hear from him long before in answer to his own letter to Gen. Miflin's agent at Philadelphia, which was to be read and then forwarded to Cambridge; it represented the inconvenience of transporting money and asked if a bill of exchange would be satisfactory; he now finds that money is desired, and asks in what way he can remit the same; is anxious to requite the General's favor.
