Leyden March 11. 1781
My dear Portia
My Letters by Davis, Mr. Guild &c. are lost. -- Pray did you get the Goods by Davis?
This goes by Mr. De L'Etombe Consul of France, a worthy Man. He will do honour to his Country and good to ours.
My Boys are both Students in the University of Leyden. -- All well. -- Write me by the Way of Spain, France, Holland, Sweeden and every other. Jones carried your Chest, Samson carried another. -- Yours with more Tenderness than it would be wise, if it were possible to express.
J.A.
