I fully expected to have found a Letter in Town from you in answer to one I wrote in August & and sent for post; in that I gave some Incouragement encouragement of going home in the Spring, but I am in such a poor State of Health that it will be impracticable for me to go, & and am glad to hear that you have not depended upon me — the Freinds friends to the Design in New York New Jersey & and Philadelphia think it best by all means that none go before Spring, & and have repeatedly deſ=ired de-sired me to recommend it to you to wait till 'til then — I have just learnt learned by Capt Kelly that mr Whitaker is appointed, but that it is somewhat dubious whether he will go as his Wife is so averse to it, whereupon I would acquaint you that I beleive believe Mr Mr. Rodgers might be obtained, & and he is judged the most Suitable Perſon person that can be sent — it is of the last importance yt that an able Perſon person should go, it is generally thought matters are not ripe for sending this Fall — may Heaven direct your Steps, & and Succeed your Endeavours! being in the greatest Haste I have time only to add that I am my Dear sir yours
