Gentlemen The Hague July 11. 1784

Is there no News from Egberts our Express? What can have happened to him? or become of him? Is he dead, or Sick? I Sent you a Passport for him a Week ago, I hope you recd it.1

I am really very anxious about my Papers. To have Papers of Such 280 Importance to the Publick and to myself, So long in coming, and no News or Account about them, is very distressing. I beg you Gentlemen to let me know what is become of him.
