Description
John De Neufville and Son, Amsterdam. Thanking them for their services to his friends in England; his duties in Congress prevent his taking an active part relative to the affairs of the family's estate, but he will do what he can to have replaced all former or future disbursements; offers his own estate as security. A postscript adds that the fact that South Carolina has not repealed the laws prohibiting suits for debt renders it inconvenient to make speedy remittances.
