A. L. S. Endorsed. 1 page. 4o
Description
Addresses him as one of the greatest proprietors of the Ohio Company, and encloses that part of a letter written by his son in London, relating to the company; doubts if he has written to any other, as he seems to consider him still an active member; Mercer has sent copies to Capt. Tayloe, Col. Phil. Lee, and Col. Mason; had never heard that the Governor had been directed to report the actions of the Company; is sure he is their friend.
